Why do you spend time here instead of another social media page? Why ask questions here instead of a heavily followed military/service page on Facebook? Why is Rally Point awesome even though you tend to speak more formally here? Please elaborate.
And everyone . . . Stay Awesome!

Too much BS from people I don't want to BS with. It may be a bit more formal here but we're among family - family that gets each other. And you don't have to explain to anyone why uncle Lou has a wooden leg and Nana has blue hair.

I actually learn something from people on Rally Point. Rally Point members are respectful but not afraid to disagree with me and encourage me to learn and grow.

I find myself on RP more then Facebook. For old dogs that still need the conversation with fellow veterans RP fills the bill. The advice is great and helping the younger folks makes you glad you can be of assistance. The brother and sisterhood are alive and well on Rally Point.

Hey, why bother with Facebook again anyway? I don't have an account, nor care for one. I've been doing just great without it! Besides, my wife is a bit 'insecure' and I wouldn't want her to feel any more 'suspicious' by having any other social networks that I hardly have time for anyway

I use Facebook to keep in touch with my grand daughters in DC. My son is stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. So its a great way to communicate with them.

Interested in seeing how competent military leaders can be and are not. Also, I enjoy using this as a great niche networking tool.

Facebook: overrated. Anything goes, anyone does what they want to do. RP: much more exclusive, conservative, and respectful. We still have fun, don't get me wrong! Just more 'exclusive' fun, no outsiders allowed.
RP all the way!
RP all the way!

I really appreciate the mutual respect we enjoy here that is extremely rare on FB or other sites.

I like Rallypoint because of the military aspect to it. While I have a couple dozen military affiliated friends on FB, the majority of my friends on there have never served and have no clue about service. I had to answer other because I'm not concerned with the main four answers. There are plenty of rude or liberal, posers, condescending and highly emotional people on here so it's impossible to really get away from them.

Despite being out of the Military for over 20 years, I still find MANY more like-minded people here.

I agree. I've met so many great people on here that I more than likely would never have met. Definitely still some good people who are currently serving or who have served.

I am on Facebook primarily but found Rally Point recently and have found it more centered on military rather than being all over in discussions
