What is the Us military newspaper?

Answer 1

Each branch has its own such as the Army times and Stars and Stripes. There are a lot of "US Military newspapers." First, each base has a newspaper. Fort Bragg's paper is the Paraglide, Fort Campbell's is the Courier, Fort Hood's is the Sentinel... Usually, a base will contract with the civilian newspaper in the area. They'll put an office on post which will be staffed by a mixture of military and civilian journalists. The contracts all say "the paper will be produced at no expense to the government," which means the papers are full of ads. That's okay--soldiers buy things too. Next comes the "Times" papers. There are four--Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times. They're published every week. I think I managed to buy eight of these in twelve years--they are REALLY expensive, and if you really want to read this rag you can borrow your first sergeant's copy. The only reason most lower-enlisted soldiers buy this is because they publish the promotion point cutoffs, so if you're on the E-5 or E-6 list you buy this newspaper once a month to see if you're getting promoted this month. Officers tend to buy it because they discuss Issues Of Concern from the paper at officer call, and you don't want to look stupid and ill-informed. They even have comics in this paper--the entire week's run of Beetle Bailey, Then comes Stars and Stripes. There are two versions--Stars and Stripes for Europe and the Middle East, and Pacific Stars and Stripes for the Pacific Rim region. It carries Associated Press news as well as stories about the military.
