<p>Who in RP is your favorite person when it come's to posting threads and why?</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>For those who have been here a while or maybe long enough, you came across someone who stands out, who then is your favorite person in RP and why.</p><p>Please put them here and lets make them aware of it.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>My personal response is: </p><p>Major Mark W. Burns, because when he creates a thread, he takes responsibility for it and comments on every post as well as validates every one in that thread. Major Burns, takes command of his threads and that is something I have not seen in to many people here. Most of all his threads show a sense of motivation and great reading</p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Revision 1:</p><p>Ok, I'm going to resurrect this thread because since it was written, I find that I need to add a few more SM to this list.</p><p>Addition to my list are:</p><p>1. SFC Baber: Whom as a senior NCO shows extraordinary knowledge and positive responses.</p><p>2. SSG Olson: another NCO whom also displays extraordinary knowledge and adds a wonderful sense of humor that is often needed here in RP.</p><p>3. SSG Woods: Whom when creating a thread as an NCO makes the thread exciting and enjoyable to be a participant of.</p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Revision 2:</p><p>In addition to those whom are listed above, the following are now added to my personal list:</p><p>1. 1st Sgt. Michael Blount: Whom is willing to help out veterans in need of work,</p><p>is very supportive of SM's here in RP and sets the example for many here in RP.</p><p>2. SSG Burns: Whom for those that know him kind of find that RP can not the same with out him, his posts offer challenges that can make any one think.</p><p>3. Maj. Joseph Parker, CPT (Chaplin) Heather Parker, 1LT Sandy Annala : 3 of my favorite officers, whom well knowledge, highly supportive in many topics and set the perfect example for us to follow.</p><p>4. PFC Logan Mullins: An Enlisted member whom if I were in the military today I would seek to get him promoted to SP4 or CPL. </p><p>also included is SPC Thundercloud: A very special SM whom someday will make a great leader. </p>

All kidding aside, I believe Rally Point is becoming THE place for veterans to hang out. I've referred a couple of my bretheren who are presently between jobs and they've gotten excellent responses so far.

Michael- The whole RallyPoint team reads these Answers threads and you can bet we are smiling from ear to ear when we read this. Our mission is far from over....<div>Thanks for bringing value to this community of brothers and sisters. </div>

Sir - I see you're stationed in Palo Alto - not far from where I grew up in Sunnyvale. I agree our mission is far from over, and I'm on it until the last dog dies.

<div>I can't pick just one!!!! Y'all offer so much and have such an impression on me! So I'll just do this...lol</div><div><br></div><div>If SFC Carothers, MCPO Young, SSG Pabon or Ssgt Olson get upset over something posted on RP, I immediately think "whoa you MUST have crossed a line" because they are humble leaders with a sense of humor and a great understanding of how the military works. <br></div><div><br></div>Here is a way I measure if I am right or wrong on something: if LT Annala and CH. Davis both post something contrary to what I believe or think, I immediately read deeper into what they say. As a perfect mixture of soft and tough, they have yet to steer me wrong. <div><br></div><div>SSG Williams, SSG Hasbun, SSG G and SSG Burns bring a great mixture of common sense and old Army and use sarcasm which is a language lost on many. (even though SSG Williams doesn't like being endorsed lol)</div><div><br></div><div>SSG Broadbent, MSG Cunningham, MAJ Miller and CH Davis have inspired me to be more professional and "hard core". </div><div><br></div><div>SFC Baber, SFC Gates, CH Davis, MSG Stankovich: while they maintain their sense of humor, they are gentle with reproach and more concerned about educating and truly molding leaders for tomorrow than they are with just sounding "right". </div><div><br></div><div>PFC Mullins and SPC Thundercloud are great reminders that there is hope for our future leaders. </div><div><br></div><div>MAJ Bartlette, MAJ Parker and SFC Swartz...well they are funny and usually right in everything they say. </div><div><br></div><div>CPL Fittizzi, SGT Blackburn and SGT Cox always contribute concrete arguments which get my wheels turning, regardless if I agree. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course there are more but I have church in the morning so I gotta go to bed. Good night y'all! </div>

Thank you for the kind words SSG Woods. I honestly believe that it is a responsibility for those of us "who have been around for a while" to make sure that the Leaders of today and tomorrow have all the tools to be successful.

My favorite person, is whoever is willing to say what they mean, and mean what they say. I cant stand seeing people play politics or play nice (here or in person) because they want to LOOK like they are saying what people might deem appropriate. You cant get anything fixed or solve any problems by covering them up with kindness. Yeah, I know, you have to talk nice to people some times in certain situations blah blah. But when you are debating something, just say it. Sugar coating only works with baking. ;+) There are some people in here that say what needs to be said and it gets their point across, as well as there being a bunch of people that really appear as though they are running for office. <br>

People think that Sill is still all male, we went GIT (again) in JAN 10. I would have to say the only reason it isn't as bad as Leonardwood in terms of politics is because we are smaller. We can't "smoke" PVT's, DS's get told to stop "yelling at PVT's" after a PVT tells the COC that the DS is "picking on them".. smh, its terrible.<br>
