What was your highlight on RallyPoint in 2015?

Now that 2015 is in the books it marks yet another successful year for RallyPoint and its members. Looking back at 2015 what was your highlight? Did you achieve that top 1% badge? Or did you set a new record for the most down votes?

For me I got my third star as an Admin and I was able to see the community grow into what it is today.

Dec 17th: New update launches on desktop. RP has been a better place because of it.

Reading the never-ending debate on "Should 2LT's salute 1LT's?" thread! :)

CPT Private RallyPoint Member I don't have lofty expectations or goals. For me, it was getting my 'contributor bottle opener'. Though, I wish I'd gotten the Naval version, lol!

All of it. Rally Point's members have said such exceedingly nice things about me. Rally Point has been a source of love and comfort for me.
I also love to give and help. I found great opportunities for both; on Rally Point.

If I remember right I was top E3 for a while, then I got a darn promotion. I'm barely hanging on to 10th place now. I guess I'm the only airman in the top 10 of E4s though so I got that going for me which is nice.

Overall I got really active on RP throughout 2015, at least about the first half. Been falling behind in recent months but I still come back now and then. Also got my Blue Ribbon. Been a good year RP wise.

EDIT: Scratch that first statement, I was in the top 5, maybe top 3 for Active E3s but I forgot about Mr. Ortiz who had and still has me beat by a hundred miles points wise.

Being blocked by two other RP members who cannot defend their positions. I know I am doing my job here when that happens.

Continuing to invite more members to join the forum. I exceeded over 100 invites in 2015 - on my quest towards 1,000 (and perhaps, world domination!).

CPT Private RallyPoint Member, for me , it was connecting, meeting and communicating with new people. I've "met" many extraordinary people through RP, which would not have occurred otherwise.

The support I got when life at home cratered at Christmastime in 2014... really meant a lot to me.

For me is to find myself surrounded by great people who believe in hard work and sacrifice, something it is sorely lacking in the civilian population. Godspeed and God bless 'Merica.

CPT Private RallyPoint Member the Private gave a tutorial on how to dress for a ball in this discussion:

That and being 1 out of 36,664 E-3s in the site, for the whole year. Now E-4s, hold on!

What's a tasteful military ball gown? | RallyPoint

You've been to military balls. Like me, you've seen a wide variety of ball gowns. What is an appropriate ball gown? What is not? Can you give or show example?

Sir, in 2015, I discovered that RallyPoint was a great website for veterans and active duty personnel. The opportunity exists to mentor, learn new things, and communicate with folks that have similar values and shared experiences.

CPT Private RallyPoint Member like my friends LTC Stephen C. and Capt Private RallyPoint Member my RallyPoint highlight in 2015 was joining RallyPoint in March and becoming a contributor a couple months later.
