Mostly I see random useless conversations about military board questions and people getting promoted. I swear when I accepted to join this it said something about expanding my career options or something like that. Seems to me that this is facebook for military.<br>

<p>Expanding career for a SSG.&nbsp; Example:&nbsp; there's about 10 or so discussions alone in the last week on the SFC Board.&nbsp; If you were not selected I am sure there is some valuable information in those threads to expand your career.</p><p>I don't think that is random or useless.</p><p>You will also find many conversations on the #1 priority in the Army and that is SHARP.</p><p>You will also find many discussions on mentorship, professional development, and transitioning advice.&nbsp; All extremely valuable.</p><p>And probably the MOST important, if you were ever not sure in your career you can find out here if a 2LT should salute a 1LT.</p>

This goes beyond what Facebook is doing.  If all you are seeing  is "useless conversations" then you aren't looking close enough.  While I agree, not all of the conversations are as meaningful as others; we have had some great discussions and people have found this site to be really useful to expand their social network.

it's about learning and sharing your knowledge. Some do more of one than the other. Which one will you be?!
