For many years there have been banners on RallyPoint which include businesses including USAA as well as companies 'looking' for you."
I expect that most are aware of these and wonder how these advertisements influence us.

Happy New Years Eve to each of you. Hopefully 2022 will be a year of blessing for each of my friends.

I apologize for spelling errors including misspelling of advantage and offer. Once you enter, you cannot change survey response text.

Me too. I research all I want to know. I also do not do online forms for employment as I have success going directly to HRCs and they are going to have you fill out the same information once you are hired. One primary HRC recruiter told me that my visit counted as my first interview and then gave me an appointment for my second (and final) interview the next day. The company also paid for my travel expenses and per diem even though I wasn't yet employed.
I stayed with them for 8 1/2 years until the contract ended.

The advertising for the re-engine effort for the B52 by GE motivated me 100% to choose the GE product for my personal B52.

Though Roll-Royce F130 which has 17,000 pounds of thrust was selected to re-engine the B52; I'm like you. I prefer GE the General Electric F138 (CF6) which has 59,000 pounds of thrust.
May the New Year be rewarding for you and yours, also. the General Electric F138 (CF6) has 59,000 pounds of thrust.

SMSgt Bob Wilson I’m kidding. Example of useless advertising on RP. No one on RP can make the service department level decision to upgrade the B52, nor can Individual Joes influence that decision. That was my ironic and sarcastic point

Agreed. I'm not going to write a letter to my Congressional Representative asking them to intervene in a Contract Issue. Now the USAA advertisement may interest me if I wasn't settled and established in the community.
