How useful is RallyPoint once one leaves the service?

SFC Vince Dunlap Any Networking Tool is a Good Tool. I can't speak to as far as the Job Market but as a El Dorado Canyon Vet it was a Great Tool to Reconnect with Shipmates from that time PO2 Robert M. and CPO Allen D. (Al) B. as a Desert Strike Veteran it was a Great Tool to reconnect with PO1 Greg Mitchell as a OOD Inport of USS California CGN-36 it was a Great Tool to reconnect with PO2 Billy Cole My POOW that covered My Ass more than Once.

SFC Vince Dunlap – Great Question, Sir! It was the reason MAJ Yinon Wiess co-founded RallyPoint (Trevor, 2013). And Dig this: The intrinsic value of RP is only realized by those who understanding first the 'notion' of a 'RallyPoint' and its relationship to an objective (Rosenthal, 2015), and then the notion of 'Networking' ("Network." n.d.). Practical post-service application of RP would be using the network as an Initial Rally Point (IRP) to coordinate the Veterans March on American See Link for more details: https://www.facebook.com/events/ [login to see] 09054/

If you look on RP, you can even find Snowflakes whining about politics. And you don't even have to look that hard to find them!!! Right SPC?

Define 'useful'?
SFC Vince Dunlap this type of resource is useful as you make it...like most things in life.

The short answer is very useful. It's good for finding job posting relevant to your MOS, it's a good place to ask for transition advice, its a good place to ask about veteran benefits and services, and the list goes on.

Rally Point has filled an empty void in my life since I've gotten out. I find myself surrounded by people that live in a comfortable box of no real knowledge of the outside world, except what they see on TV. Trying to talk to regular non military civilians is almost like talking to my kids. They look at me like what?

What I wouldn't give to recover one of the abandoned bases and turn it into just a living and working community of veterans. And those with civilians families that still like both worlds, give them the off base housings.

I bet this would eliminate a lot of issues in the life of a lot of vets. Until then, I'll keep to my little farm and all it's glory. Lol

Thank you RallyPoint and all of its creators and members for giving me and others something to look forward to again everyday.

Not sure... SFC Vince Dunlap as I found it after I retired...

not really useful, but its nice to see whats going on and the issues that todays soldiers face, like the above about males wearing lipstick? This just didnt happen in my Army unless you passed out from drinking.
