Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this. Here at RallyPoint, we have already identified this as an issue we will be working to improve on. We did not build this upfront, because we didn't know whether/how much our members would engage with the feature. Now, it's clear that people are engaging a lot, so we'll be improving on it. Ah, the joys of an agile development system. ;-)

I'm fairly new here, so forgive me if this is a topic that has been discussed before. <div><br></div><div>Since we have a great mix of servicemembers and veterans on RallyPoint, can we get a discussion started about why people did or did not choose to re-enlist/go indef? It would be interesting to hear from both perspectives and the thread could also provide a lot of insight for people approaching the same fork in the road.</div>

<p>Here are some reasons I decided not to re-enlist -</p><p> </p><p>Navy: I hated the Navy at the time due to my experience onboard an aircraft carrier and working in V-2 Division (Launch & Recovery). I loved my job launching aircraft off the flight deck and probably would have stayed and made it a career if I had better treatment. However, the way the Navy treats their people is absolutely horrible. Low morale and sarcasm was my environment. Working 22 hours every day we were out to sea was arduous and overly exhausting with little or no support for enhanced well-being. "Suck-it-Up" was my way of life. Not to mention some very personal issues of sexual assault that eventually resulted in my leaving for good.</p><p> </p><p>Air Force: after 9/11, I decided to cross over into the Air Force. Although I had such a wonderful transition and experience, I realized that I couldn't completely transition as a Navy vet. The Air Force culture is so different from the Navy and I still struggle with it even today working as a civilian. </p><p> </p><p>In addition, I wanted stability and was tired of the politics that greatly influence our life in uniform. I decided to serve in a different capacity as a civilian and veteran helping other veterans. </p>

I don't think there is really a problem with repetitive questions due to how unwieldy the format becomes when the topics get large. I stop reading topics I'm genuinely interested in because I can't find where someone responded or posted something new with any kind of ease.
