By simply filling out a profile and actively contributing to discussions on this site, I have ranked to the 1% of SM in my rank. Others who hold such a badge please chime in! Is this what it felt like to you when you hit your 1% badge?

I never even paid attention.

RP, where the rules are made up and the points don't matter!

PO1 Janetta Arford, big jumps can occur from "earning" badges for having a post or topic liked a specific amount of times. Not to mention the points earned when people reply to a topic or post. I earned like 4000 points the one day that I didn't even post on RP.

Asked pointed questions and hope people respond or like what you said and you get points while you sleep or not even log on to RP.

haha...Takes a long time for us older Soldiers to get to that level as there are so many of us willing to give our advice/experiences. Invite your friends/peers to the group so we can have their input as well.

Sargeant, I have greatly benefited from the knowledge, experiences and mentors hip that higher ranking NCOs and Officers have provided me on here. Just being able to openly communicate and gather such wisdom in this manner is amazing!

Perhaps the kind of sandwich that often went to those who forgot the Prime Directive: "Never Volunteer".
