Navy, Marines Block Commercial Email Sites
No more Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo! or other similar emailing on the seven seas:
The block includes access to e-mail services from computers at base libraries and liberty centers that are connected to an official government network.
The policy was enacted for security reasons, of course. But that’s not going to make it any easier to swallow. The .mil email system is unaffected.
No Responses to ““This is going to be a pretty sizable hit to morale.””
This probably has something to do with the fact that the Marine spy in the White House used a hotmail account to send information to the Phillipines.
Ah. That I did not know. That he used a Hotmail account for his dirty deeds, I mean. If that’s the case, why don’t they say so? Wouldn’t that completely justify it with everyone all at once?
Ft Lewis does this as well. AKO (*@us.army.mil) email still works, and you can email whomever you please from there. Ft Lewis IMO also blocks blogger & blogspot, typepad, and .mu.nu
Air Force has blocked most, if not all, commercial e-mail sites for years now. We got over it and got to work.
