I have
been asked about what is "AKO" anyway. Well maybe
here I can explain how useful this link is for
anyone in the Army, Army Reserve, or National
Guard. Yes you must be in the Army to get access to
it. It has preloaded Social Security Numbers to
verify that.
First off "AKO"
stands for
Army Knowledge Online.
The link is
http://www.us.army.mil/. This is a secure email
account (with 50 MB of space) and a home page that
you can customize the page for the information you
would like to see. It also gives quick access to
all kinds of army links that are quite useful. Plus
you can Instant message or chat with someone. You
can also put documents in an area to share with
other members (good for a telephonic briefing).
Now
another added advantage is you can take your user ID
and password from your AKO and use it in another
site. This site is ran from
AR-PERSCOM. The link is
https://www.2xcitizen.usar.army.mil/. This site
will allow access to your records. That is right!
Lost your DD Form 214, want to look or even print a
NCOER for a promotion board. Now you can. This is
also a secure web site so you will also have to have
the latest Web browser like Internet Explorer or
Netscape.
If you
have trouble with getting your account or you have
some questions. Here is the contact info.
