How many RP Members out there are using RallyPoint to network and create opportunities to do business?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs i'd rather do Business with men and women who understand integrity. Those of us who serve certainly understands that well.

Believe this is the perfect spot for vets to show that they have skills that a lot of employers are looking for.

I like to come up here and read the treads and talk to fellow veterans. I really like the history that is put up here daily that seems to always teaches us something new.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs, I think this idea joins with the intent of RallyPoint - to connect Service Members and Veterans with one another to support and advice. Networking definitely meets that criteria, in my opinion. Great idea!

I'm on here mainly to read the opinions and views on a variety of issues and subject, some military, some civilian, as seen by a variety of folks with a military perspective and not to garner contacts or network. Of course I also like to vent my own personal thoughts whether anyone cares or not. There may be others whose wife or significant other has heard everything we have to say more than once and are not impressed. So we need another outlet a step above social media where name-calling, personal attacks, irrational emotional feelings, etc are strewn about. I like to hear a couple of points from people on why they feel or believe as they do, whether I agree or not, and not just a bunch of shot-gunned vitriol.

I suppose it's a good idea....It's crossed my mind from time to time....but I do not move forward with the business aspect because i joined to have interaction with my fellow Vets...to learn and to reply/respond to different topics and just hang out.

I'm here to do His business! If I can help you, let me know - it's not about me and my business anymore - I learned a LOT over the years and I just want to share that with anyone who wants to hear it. I feel a responsibility to help others with my gifts, talents and knowledge - we are all created for a purpose - I figured out what mine is and I can help you do the same.

I find my self talking to people who are authors and see if I can pick their brain. I do it through the inbox mostly.

Some RP members have discovered the short stories on my website but I wouldn't call that "business development". Now, if they start buying books, that's another story. However, that's not my purpose for being here...

Ive had decidedly mixed results on that front.
