After scrolling through the posts to the RallyPoint page, does anyone else get the feeling like it is slowly morphing into just another FB?

If you stay on the Home page, it may look more like FB because that reflects what your connections are posting. If you want to be more focused on the military discussions, follow the Discussions page, and sort by "New" Discussions.

I feel like every couple weeks theres a similar post. Here was the most recent:
https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/there-s-a-lot-on-rallypoint-but-why-so-many-daily-bread-type-posts

People ask this a lot and I think the thing to remember is that RallyPoint strives to be a military community rather than a military forum. We talk about things that people in the military talk about and share them with other vets and service members - regardless of what they're about.

I am more concerned about the 18 different Groundhog Day stories (a little exaggeration). In all seriousness to your question, everything that has a forum function will turn into the same thing over time. I just tune out the stuff I don't want to engage in.

No, while some posts are similar to FB. Most of the posts that I see are related to a specific question or topic of discussion. Others offer advice or are questions looking for advice, etc. I find that RP members are much more intelligent and helpful then your standard FB user. FB (which I use also) is all about social interaction while I view RP as a professional type of interaction.
