Coinciding with the celebration of Veterans Day is MilitaryPlanet.com, a newly launched social networking community exclusively for Armed Forces personnel and veterans.
It offers active duty, transitioning and former military the ability to connect and re-connect with each other in all corners of the world.
Utilizing unprecedented search tools, all members can search by branch, current or former duty station, and even unit, while not fearing they will be kicked off the site while on base or deployed.
“The Department of Defense has banned our service members overseas from many of the existing social networks due to incredible demands on bandwidth, constant streaming video, oversaturated advertising throughout the sites and sometimes questionable content,” said Ben Vanderneck, MilitaryPlanet.com Social Director. “Our site has a very streamlined overall design, which is critical for use by the online military community. MilitaryPlanet offers active duty personnel the ability to stay connected while deployed because we created the site with military installations in mind.”
