Does anybody still need to be vouched for on RallyPoint?

Yesterday I received a request from an old friend from 35 years ago. He asked that I vouch for him on RallyPoint. To be honest I was surprised that you could be on RallyPoint for many months and not be vouched for. I was happy to vouch for my friend but wasn't sure how to go about it. I responded to his message and told him I would be happy to vouch for him. Then I sent a message to RallyPoint support and told them I wanted to vouch for my friend. Within 30 minutes or so I received a message asking if I would vouch for my friend. I clicked on the hyperlink and vouched for my friend.
I would be happy to vouch for any RallyPoint member that I have been acquainted with or friends with in my military career. I know there are many other members who would do as well?
Do you need to be vouched for? If you do let us know and we will try to help you find somebody who can vouch for you.

Mistake - forgot to select an option on my own question - too many medications :-)

I have been a RallyPoint member since March 2015 and do not need to be vouched for. I will be happy to vouch for anybody I have served with from November 1974 to May 2008.

Do I ask for one? No. Would I turn one down? No.

I will vouch for someone whom I personally know has served. Doing so for anyone other could compromise the integrity of RP.

I joined RP in August & emailed them a copy of my DD214 & received a response that they reviewed it and that my Marine Service and Rank had been verified. But so far there's not been anyone here who I served with or if there is he may still be pissed at me for being tough on him during PT at Geiger & Vieques..

Perhaps points should not accrue until the person is verified.

Are some thinking one has to be verified AND vouched for?

My understanding is that vouching is one way of becoming verified. If already verified there is no need to also have someone vouch for you.

I probably should be vouched for on here, but the only problem is having someone I personally know on here to vouch for me. I don't want to be vouched for by just anybody just because they want to help me out. I'd prefer they have the ease of mind in knowing for a fact that I serve. With that being said, I am verified so I'm not sure if that still means I need vouched for or not.

I'm really a 50 year old virgin who lives in my Mom's basement and haven't left it since I graduated high school (back in the stone ages)! :)

You missed an answer. Verified and a troll.
