So, how has RallyPoint helped you find your next military assignment or helped to transition to the civilian community? How has it helped to answer a critical career-related question or helped to provide valuable insight into your career? Also, has it helped you to make any valuable contacts--or helped reintroduce you to former coworkers or supervisors--that have proved to be influential, helpful, or led to partnerships that produced exceptional military or business-related results? Here's where you can share those success stories, and I'm sure there are more than a few out there! So, pull up a keyboard and let's get this started, thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

To begin with, knowing I can come to this site and interact with friendly veterans and active duty members all over the world is a great value. I've enjoyed meeting new people via RallyPoint.<div><br></div><div>In addition, I am actively hiring for my company so I am speaking with candidates in my region (New England).</div>

I'll second your post. Mostly the Army gave me a different outlook on other people and a realization that it was better to be part of the whole than stand on my own. I honestly think that I'm alive today because of what it taught me.

Yesterday, a fellow Captain, from out of the blue, sends me a text asking if I knew any one at Beale AFB. I wasn't sure, but being form the region I had to know someone. She was traveling in the area on emergency leave for her father’s funeral and had ripped her dress blues pants that she needed for the service. Clothing sales would be closed by the time she got there so we need so one to pick them up before 1600 when they closed in order to make the service the next day. Thinking quickly I jumped on RallyPoint and used their map locator tool and realized I had a pilot friend stationed at Beale. I contacted him but he was deployed to Afghanistan but got referred to his flight commander. I explained the situation and he was more than happy to help an airman in need. He picked up the uniform items she needed and later that night they met up and made the hand off. The next day she made the funeral special for her family during a challenging time.

Sir, if I might say, and with all due respect, "You're The Man!" We should always be prepared to come to the aid of a brother, or sister. Blessings.

I used to waste countless hours sleeping. I thought to myself, there must be something better to do with my time. Then I found Rally Point. Now sleeping is just something I do for fun on the weekends.

SSG Robert Burns That sounds like a great plan. You know you are making a lot of new friends, and doing a lot in the discussions. Best therapy in the world without having to pay. :-)
