I have seen a handful of people with the silver power usage badge, my question is have you had a easy time or hard time attempting to get people you know or are friends with to join RallyPoint?
I have sent out 40 invitations and have only gotten one person to join, just curious if anyone else has experienced ease or difficulties with this.

I've sent out 100+ invites to join the site. I had a few come back and sign up. I think the problem that this site and other start up social media outlets have is getting a good following. It's hard to do with Facebook, Twitter, G+ and the other big hitters but the one thing that keeps me here is I know that I can reach out and engage with other Veterans/service members that know exactly what it is like to be in my shoes because of the most part we have all been there, done that and gotten the tshirt (or low VA rating and a kick on the forth point of contact). I think as people here continue to post good, meaningful discussions and the development continues on the back-end more and more service members/Veterans will be open to the idea of joining.

This is commonly seen by the community (or any community actually).
Most of us receive invitations to things from friends fairly regularly, but we rarely act (we barely even notice it). When somebody says "hey, you should really check out this restaurant..." -- how quickly do you run over there to make a reservation? Probably not right away. Yet, when we invite somebody else to something, we are surprised when they don't drop everything and do as we ask.
In reality, I think it takes several invitations to a platform before somebody is finally willing to check it out. So please realize that your invitations DO have an effect, in that even if they don't accept your invitation directly, they make it more likely they will accept it next time from somebody else. Of course, the same positive outcome applies to you, when others invited before you.
In short... keep inviting and telling your friends. We are building a lot of momentum and RallyPoint and we appreciate your support!

I have had very few responses on my invites to rally point
but the one person I talked to about it in person signed up, that’s 100% in
face to face (admittedly on a sample of 1)
