I stopped reading the Army Times 15 years. Unfortunately, many (if not most) service men and women view the AT as if it were a publication with their best interests at heart. The sad truth is just the opposite...it's an overpriced rag whose only mission is to regurgitate old, often very old, MSM biased BS amateurishly disguised as journalism for and about soldiers. During its best days it was the source for pay tables, promotion lists, cut off scores, etc, but not any longer as these are all available much quicker over the internet.
With the advent of the internet and evolution of the blogosphere there are many more avenues available for soldiers to get timely and accurate military related news and opinion. I trust that growing numbers of them are availing themselves of these and cancelling their AT subscriptions.

I dont think it has any official affiliation with the military any longer, other than the $$ the troops give them at the time of purchase.
