I believe that once a profile has not been verified within a certain time limit, that the said account should be pulled off of RallyPoint. What say you??
IF you don't know how to verify your account, go to

I think that's a good idea. That way we can better ensure that everyone here is active or past military.

Agree that un-verified accounts should be limited on how they can use the site, including having limited information on members that are verified. Taking it a step further, once a member becomes verified, they can no longer remain anonymous either.

Unless they are active service members... I can understand why they choose to not have a picture and full name

There are instructions on the "want to be verified" tab you should have if you aren't. All I did was make a copy of my VA card and email it to the admin.

The whole point of this site as that we're all military and to some degree professional (tee-hee-hee-hee) so why would you want to hide your identity or not complete your profile? I believe deep down that you should have a complete profile and actual picture and not the "anonymous service member" silhouette pic, but RP supports having this so whose to argue.
Could be a back door for first sergeants checking up on there troops or worse a CIA infiltration, but nah...

For those that have military email or know someone on here. Getting verified can be problematic. I don't hold against the individual, personally. Besides, this is Rally Point with veterans and service members with 2 days to 40 years of experience in their prospective branches. an unverified fraud won't last long, most of us can talk to a person 2 minutes or less and determine they're full of nonsense and don't belong with us.

So, I pose the question that if I signed up as an active duty member and was verified at that time, when I transition to retired life, do I need to RE-Verify? or just change my status from SM to R?? "I" won't change, just my military status.....

You've all ready been verified. I would think that all you needed to do was change the SM to an R

Well you will always be accepted. I like having verified next to my name. Now they know that I am the real deal, like you are! :-)

30 days is long enough. A few days was enough for me to call upstairs and have business office make me a digital copy of mine to send in.

I am in contact with a web site who will verify if you are real or fake. All she needs is a name and when they served and who with. I can contact her and ask her about it if it would help. I don't know how to prove someone is for real, because anything can be faked nowadays. It's really a good question SGT Veronica Fulgham - Blais. I thought two weeks would be long enough, but it's taking a month for some applicants, so I guess at least a month. After that Tango Sierra, unless there is a good reason. That would be up to the web site managers. The thing about anything can be faked is what's stumping me. II guess if someone applied, but didn't seem like the real deal, then I could ask about them to the web site I was talking about.

I will admit I was leery at first with adding my photo to my profile. However I've put so much info out there on other social media sites that the only thing RP does is verify my vet status. My Facebook account has a number of friends that are RP members and others I served with, linkedin just the same other service members. So yeah I don't like unverified accounts but I'm not going to hide either.

What if the DD-214 had to be certified through the county or city? I had to take my original to the county clerk and have it certified and notarized.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "certified" copy of a DD214.
The copies I recently received from DoD and NPRC are not stamped or sealed and since they are the issuing bodies then no one down stream of them can certify / seal.
That being said .. if you send a copy of your DD214 (real or faked) into you county / sate recording office then you might get a "certified copy", but that means that it is a legit copy of a document .. not a legit document.

I had to take my original DD-214. Copies were not allowed. If a civie can fake a DD-214 to look like the original document, with the hen scratching and errors, then I say go for it. But you better not get caught. I don't know what the DD-214 looks like today Mine is faded, but a lot clearer than my copies.
