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:

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.
