Without a doubt, there are truly some great resources available to active and Reserve component personnel and veterans. Of course, if folks don't know that they're out there, members and their families couldn't possibly benefit from some of these amazing offers and services. So, the idea here is to share those helpful tidbits of information, tips, links, lessons learned, processes, resources, wisdom and/or POCs to help members find the resources they need for their troops, their families, and to help themselves. Just a couple of quick admin notes, please make sure to share the source if known, and remember to post in accordance with RallyPoint guidelines. Well, I'm certain that will be a great way to get timely information, resources, and assistance to those who need it most, when they need it the most... so, if you have something useful, helpful, or good-to-know, please feel free to share. Alright folks, it's that time, so pull-up a keyboard and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

Leaving Animals while you are deployed | RallyPoint

I haven't deployed yet but i would like to hear from soldiers who have. If you have animals, do you have family to take care of them or do you have to leave them behind ? Do you give them to the animal shelter or a family member ? If you could have a place that took care of them while you were deployed would you let them ? Did you want to leave them behind and did you get them back after your deployment was over ? I'm starting a blog about...

Here's a great resource provided by SGT Joseph Butler, paraphrased from his original post... when attempting to correct records, update a discharge, or challenge records, you'll likely be required to reference regulations; so, how do you locate past regulations and those that have been rescinded over time, well here's a start: http://whs.mil.campusguides.com/content.php?pid=321917&sid=2635407 Thanks to SGT Butler for providing the link and amplifying information about the resource.
