I have a close friend of mine that once served as one of my medics who is currently going to school right now for IT. He is planning to create a web-based service for veterans but is stuck trying to brain storm what people might need/want and why.

Maybe a Veteran assistance app i.e. Let's say a Veteran in his senior years wants to attend a Division or Ship reunion maybe an app for Veterans help in different cities and towns from airport pick up to assistance getting ready etc? Or an app for knowledge based service officers for different VA claims?

I thought of something similar to your first idea. Something similar to RP but with more of a FB feel to connect old military comrades.

I'd like to see a better MOS/general military skill translator, maybe designed with the input from several veterans in each field.
Why? The current one leave something to be desired.

SGT Joseph Gunderson - Of course. But it can also be used by employers if they want to know any skills an applicant might have overlooked, or want a plain English job description.

There are so many different systems and databases used by the government. How about a website that brings them all together. Think about all the questions veterans ask on RP and envision a website that is sort of a one-stop shop. Links to VA benefits and resources, links to units, links to PTSD resources, links to local veteran organizations, etc. All of these things already exist I'm sure, but they're scattered all over the place. A website that brings them all together might be a good idea. It would be a lot of work though. Not sure if your friend is looking at this as a business opportunity or just being helpful.
