Army seeks DNA dogtags to ID combatants and unknowns
The Army began collecting blood and saliva from recruits for a genetic dogtag program to improve identification when fingerprints or dental records fail. Fort Knox will process 1,000 to 1,500 samples monthly, with Fort McClellan starting next month and expansion Army-wide. Samples cost about $3 per recruit and will be destroyed after service.

Women spotted melanoma earlier study finds
New York researchers report women are more likely than men to notice melanoma on themselves. In a study 66 percent of female patients found their own lesions versus 42 percent of men, a factor possibly linked to lower female death rates though authors caution interpretations remain speculative.
