Late nights, early mornings, lunch breaks, coffee breaks, weekends, some of us seem to be addicted. So what are some of the warning signs?

- You start half of your face-to-face interactions with, "So I read this thing on RP the other day..."

- A military-related question occurs to you, and you search for the answer on the RP discussion threads rather than ask your supervisor.

- You're supposed to be studying for an exam, but you justify spending "just 10 more minutes" on RP.

I never realized it was missing until I begin reconnecting with friends from my old unit, and with my old unit itself. Although we did not all serve in the same unit or same service, we did all serve, therefore, we are all family in my book.

CSM Charles Hayden it's the Basic Aviation Badge and I'm not sure to what you're referring when you say that my profile reads 'Admin'. SSG (Join to see), you don't have to be a 15-series to be awarded the crewmember badge.

EDIT: Here is a link to learn more about the Basic Aviation Badge. If you're a UH-60 crewchief and also an NCO, this might be helpful for you to know. Please see 8-27 in 600-8-22: http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r600_8_22.pdf

My name is Steve, and I'm an RPaholic.

Sleep is the only time, however, instead of waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I check RP.

I am still trying to figure out how I can work my classes around RP this fall.

Withdraws... Internet went down for a few hours last week and I started having DT's

I feel like if you THINK that you have spent to much time on here, you're either afraid to see what people have to sey or you don't want to further your leadership abilities. This site is AMAZING. Its like having over a million excellent NCO's and Officers to help you through any and every aspect of your life or to at very least get some good solid information and advice, at your finger tips. I love it! I feel like I'm not on it near enough!

Welcome to RP. I cannot speak for others, although from some of the posts I have seen, i am not in the minority, this site is pretty addicting. Better than Facebook on steroids.

You're addicted when you immediately have to see what comment was liked or who made a comment on what you posted!

When some Marine 2LT, who shall remain anonymous, use 1/2 their daily quota of thumbs to blow sunshine up an anonymous retired MAJ's 4th point of contact.
