Have you met someone through RallyPoint that has changed your life?

We're coming up on 5 years at RP, I've had the privilege of meeting some of our early influencers in person, but we've grown so quickly that thousands of connections are made every day that RP Staff can't keep up with. If you've formed a relationship on RallyPoint with someone who has helped you in anyway, I'd love to hear about it. Thank you for helping us build RP!

I've met some funny, interesting, and insightful people.

But I haven't met someone who I would call "life changing," face-to-face still wins that category bigtime.

While we haven't met in person (yet), I can say that I have met many people here that have changed my life. Of course, I met LTC Yinon Weiss, PV2 Private RallyPoint Member, SSG Robert Burns, SSG V. Michelle Woods and many others at the conference a few years ago but if you are looking for someone that I can say changed my life, well then I would have to say SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" and SSG Carlos Madden fall into that category. While we haven't met yet in person, working with these two day in and day out has had a great lasting impact on me. I've turned to these two for not only things related to RallyPonit but for other personal things as well. I am thankful to have the chance to know these two men and to work as a Senior User Admin here on RallyPoint. Here is to another 5 years and beyond.

I like coming on here daily and trying to help those in need of direction. Especially those wanting to come into my line of work. However, there are some individuals who I cannot believe ever served. Just my opinion though.

While I may not have met anyone specific, being new to the Rallypoint community, I quickly found support from former and current service members. So many people are truly here to help others in their current situation. Great place.

Nick Petros I've met one member in person...a few by phone and many I talk to here on Rallypoint. I enjoy our interactions and hearing others opinions/thoughts/feelings.
I appreciate Rally Point and am elated to be a member.
I think I have been able to help a few folks on here and am happy to have been able to.
