Is it possible to easily see numbers for all categories, even if only a weekly updated snapshot? If I go to someones page of every category & rank, I could add them up. I'm curious if there's a widget in the works for a user account counter.

Hover over the "People" link in the upper left corner, then click on "Search People". Then, on the left side of the search page, expand the "Relationship" tab. It will show you the total number of members (760,455 when I just looked). From there, you can expand each tab and see the totals by category. I asked this same question a few months ago and LTC Yinon Weiss showed me how to keep track of it on an on-going basis.

Thanks, sir. Now for the follow-up, how often are accounts scrubbed for validity ? Or am I jumping too far into a topic that's been well discussed already ?

SGT (Join to see) - Great question (that I can't answer). I can only discuss the role that the member administrators play. We keep an eye on the new profiles being established, and we flag any new (unvalidated) members that look suspicious (like if a GEN George Custer were to suddenly appear). From there, the main office takes over looking into the validity of those users on an on-going basis.

I don't recall this being discussed previously, and I didn't find anything in a quick search of previous answers.

Actually, since RallyPoint has active duty, veteran and civilian supporter users it is difficult to know how many total users there are at a particular time SGT (Join to see)
For instance I can see how many veterans there are because I am a veteran. I have no visibility of civilian supporters. One things I was curious about is what happens when a user leaves rallyPoint. It seems that the number is "retired" otherwise all successive users numbers would be reduced. My number has stayed the same for over 9 months even though many older users have left and a few have died.

Does RP have a way of showing respect to those who have left us ?

SSG Laureano Pabon - Yes, at least 3 members of rallypoint have been killed or died since I joined last march. Two were killed in afghanistan and another one died here. There is at least one other who has been very sick whose sister has communicated with us about the health of her brother. COL Mikel J. Burroughs

SGT (Join to see) TSgt Hunter Logan Well the categories are a little misleading. I will use myself as an example because even thou I retired as a SGM(E-9).
I do not count as an E-9 because the ranks are for active; rather considered only as a veteran
