The Army Strong Stories iPhone application and mobile site let users share their own Army Strong story, post comments and learn more about Army service and the careers available. The application is available?as a?free download in Apple?s App Store.
?With more than 600 soldier bloggers contributing to Army Strong Stories, many of them active duty, it was a natural next step to provide them with portable access to the site so they can share their stories, pictures and videos at anytime from anywhere,? said Bruce Jasurda, chief marketing officer of U.S. Army Accessions Command, Louiseville, KY.
?The U.S. Army remains committed to providing a transparent view of soldiers? daily lives and this mobile program helps enhance that transparency,? he said.
?Furthermore, the Army Strong Stories iPhone app and mobile Web site offer visitors portable access to new ArmyStrongStories.com content and features and enable them to ask questions, leave comments, and post new stories."
The U.S. Army Accessions Command, a subordinate command of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, meets the human resource needs of the Army by transforming volunteers into officers, warrant officers, and enlisted soldiers.
