RallyPoint provides an unique platform for veterans, active duty personnel, potential recruits, recruiters, and civilian supporters to come together and exchange ideas. Active duty personnel help keep veterans in the loop, while veterans can provide expertise to transitioning service members. I like the way RallyPoint is set up and agree with CPT L S, about the awesome job being done by the Administrators.

I'd like to see accurate historical units and rank insignia. Examples: I was not stationed at Joint Base Lackland...I was at Lackland AFB. I never wore the current USAF MSgt insignia with the top rocker. I could go on and on... The data stored here is likely to be used by future generations for genealogical research at some point. Researching genealogy is already hard enough...don't make it harder 200 years from now with deliberate inaccuracies.

MSgt. I never wore the rocker up either. And to me thr current E-9 stripes looks over done. I also didn' get to the SNCO Academy. Loved the NCO Academy.

If you could add one thing to the user experience on Rally Point, what would it be?

I would like the back button to return to the same item in the home thread. I use a Mac Book Pro so maybe that is the problem??

it does the same thing on my windows set up. hit the back button to go to home page and you get at the start of the first thread again, and have to scroll down through every thread to get to where you left off.

Are there any plans to add a ribbons/awards section to the profile/experience/certifications area?

Thank you Sir. I believe I qualify so I may request it. Is there a mechanism for Army ribbons/awards?

Make the app as useful and user friendly as the desktop. It seems like there is way more i can do on the desktop site like edit a post for instance. Theres other stuff i noticed that i cant remember but the desktop site is way more capable

THAT would be awesome! Maybe link up somehow or get the abilities that skype and fb messenger have to do live video chat or live group video chat, so the guests we have from time to time can have an even better sense of community.

I'd like for the admins to be able to guide us along when we sign up with two different emails in order to 1. consolidate the two, and 2. allow us to verify when we forgot the protocol.

Shoot me a message if you need help. You don't have to be connected to an admin to message them.

In order to have "full access," I have to verify my account. I've sent them my dd214 but they say because I sent it under my other email address, that my dd214 can't be used with this account. Can't we consolidate or delete the other account? This is the one I use. That is my issue. It's not a big issue, really, but, it's still an issue.

It could just be that I'm riding a slow pony, but I still have a tough time finding threads I'm participating in. I will be involved in a discussion, and it seems like the thread sometimes just disappears. Some threads I'm involved in show up on my home page, others don't. Some show up in new, some shift to trending, some shift to recent, some shift to my discussions. But I'm not sure how the my discussions threads are ordered. They definitely don't appear in the order of my last response. The top few threads may be ones I've been involved in recently, but then interspersed will be threads I haven't looked at for months.

So the end result is I haven't yet found a way to quickly find the threads I'm actively participating in. they seem to shift from one place to another. So it makes it difficult to keep up with conversations. Also, I'd much rather there was a way to set up the home page based on topics I choose rather than the algorithim. I still get all sorts of updates that I don't know why I get them as I'm not connected to the people giving them, and it's not a topic I'm interested in. So overall, I wish there was a better way to display new/active threads in one place, by topic, rather than the apparently random way threads move around from tab to tab.

Am I excluded/not exposed to some threads? I sometimes stumble on ? threads that have a different character than usual?
