The Mentor - A Comprehensive Guide to Army Counseling and Leadership

The AskTOP team has been busy busy busy lately.

MilitaryToons.com Launched

Meet Lucky and the gang at DBS!

The Mentor Enterprises team (publishers of AskTOP.net) have launched a new military humor network called MilitaryToons.com. The debut member comic of that network is Delta Bravo Sierra, a miltoon about war, love, and safety belts in Afghanistan. We’ve partnered with a number of prominent military cartoonists and more strips are coming! Drop us a line if you’d like to get involved.

New Q&A system now testing

We’ve been planning to re-vamp the Q&A process on AskTOP for months. Testing began last week on a development server and we plan to throw the switch within a couple weeks. We are now receiving upwards of three questions a day on average. This volume is taxing our (very manual) system and we badly need to expand. Our plan is to open up the question asking/answering process and remove some of the more centralized aspects that slow things down.

Reader Feedback

We’ve changed up the front page quote box so that it will show reader feedback about 25% of the time in place of a leadership quote. This feedback comes from folks who have filled out our 30-second survey. If you want to see your comments added to the homepage, please check out our survey. Be sure to let us know how we can continue to serve you best.
