Hi gents, thanks for the input here. We're already working on making improvements to the content that a individual user is shown when he/she explores the site, including this 'Answers' section. More coming on that soon. Remember, all us here at RallyPoint HQ are members on the site, too. ;-)

Aaron,

I totally get that and I understand that the site is very much a fluid and ever changing thing as it should be. What the team at RallyPoint has done with this site is great and much needed. Looking forward to seeing the changes to come and to see how we can all work together to get information like what is shared here to the people that need it in a timely manner.

The VAMC at Bay Pines, FL has a Mental Wellness Department second to none... they work well with Veterans and they have a Mental Health Advisory Board that is run by Veterans.

Great information for the Veterans in Florida. Sadly, I don't think it will get noticed that much on here in the forums because you aren't covering things like faith-belief in the combat zone, or should a sub-ordinate officer salute another JR Officer or crazy hair styles that one finds helps make the helmet more comfortable to wear.

Thanks for the response and I understand your point. It is not my intent to get high ratings on RP, but to provide information to those that may need it.

However, there are many Servicemembers and or Veterans in particular that can benefit from this information. Some of the information is universial, but since some of it was geared toward Florida that I why I added Florida in parenthesis.

Thanks,

Clarence

I totally understand you aren't after 100 votes or comments, you are just trying to get the information out. And that is great but it just kinda sucks that great information like this will get lost unless someone uses the search function.

Either way, great information and a great post! Thanks for sharing!

I will tag this thread and place it inside the "Resources for Veterans & Service Members" to help increase the exposure for the list.
