Should RallyPoint add an awards section to the profile for both military & civilian members?

Well, nearly everyone will be honest. Perhaps it will not be a love me thing, but a way to connect and contrast with other members and isn't that the point of RP? Connect and converse?

I think this would be a good idea COL Mikel J. Burroughs. As most have said your DD-214 has all this info on it and can be verified. For those that don't have a dd-214 yet it can be verified by printing out a awards and decorations RIP. In the Air Force we always had to have a copy of our current ribbon rack to match with our uniform for Professional Military Education (PME). Even if you were authorized a ribbon/medal you had to have the proof for it to be on your uniform. They could definitely do it that way for verification purposes since not all will be truthful, unfortunately.

Way too moto for me. Or I'm just not old enough to complain about how hard it used to be...

Absolutely they shoul COL Mikel J. Burroughs.

I believe Service Members would be honest about it. It would be rediculous for anyone that actually served to risk their integrity for a badge, metal or ribbon they didn't earn. Plus the digrace of being called out by another member who served with them and knows they're a fraud! Who does that?

If you want my military resume (ribbon rack), just ask. I have it on https://marines.togetherweserved.com. :)

COL Mikel J. Burroughs -Granted I would like to trust and believe that all members of the community will be forthcoming and honest within their awards and readily to verify if called upon to do so (ERB, ORB, DD-214).

COL Mikel J. Burroughs -I like it!! It would be both bad ass and unique in its own right, thus enhance this platform as leader within creativity. Let's go!!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I'd like to hope that members on Rally Point would actually be honest enough and proud to display what they've earned and not what they think they deserve. Just because I feel I'm entitled to a MSM doesn't mean I should show it. I'm proud of all my awards and decorations and can tell you exactly what I did for each of mine so if they did something like this, I would proudly display mine with what I earned not what I felt I deserved.

I'm in the no and no category. There is so much wrangling, especially among Army types, about awards and "patchmania". But that means I'm more old school. Never had an I Love Me wall until I built out my man cave last year. The stuff has been in storage forever. It's a private thing that only visitors see if we're going to crank out ammo on the presses. I'm also in the negative category on EOT awards. Again, the value of many of our decorations have been devalued greatly over time. Again old school. That said, this stuff is more important to others so I really don't care if RP has a checkbox for them. It will be another piece that I pretty much ignore.
