Published: December 29, 2009
Everybody loves year-end lists, so here's a quick look back at some of the most-popular topics on the Stripes Central blog this year.
The rankings are based on readership figures -- Jeff's coverage of the delays and confusion surrounding the new retroactive stop-loss payments easily drew the most comments of any issue this year, but the other top posts span a variety of topics and interests.
1 -- Stop-loss payout problems (And other related posts)
2 -- Veterans to get $250 stimulus checks
3 -- Photo of dying Marine forces tough decision
4 -- First M-ATVs headed to Afghanistan
5 -- Goodbye, Marine Corps Col. Ed McMahon
6 -- Marines use Jolly Ranchers to fight Taliban
7 -- Congress relaxes residency rules for military spouses
8 -- Army allows Sikh captain to keep beard, turban
9 -- New details on GI Bill benefits for spouses, kids
10 -- Gates blasts filibuster attempt on defense bill
Thanks again for your readership this year, and keep those comment boards filled with tips and ideas for us.
