Even when someone has a less than correct answer to a question, it is almost always corrected and provides an opportunity for growth and learning for all participants. <br />I try to keep the mindset that a question isn't a test.. it's an opportunity for discussion and growth and that the textbook 'correct' answer, may not always be the BEST answer (depending on the situation).

This would be useful to help guide each members networking in a way that just doesn&#39;t help them now, but also in the future. <br /><br />For example. Mine might include a portion about my desire to start a not for profit in Cambodia to build management and leadership talent in the local youth and young professionals in hopes to help them achieve management positions in Cambodian companies that currently are held by Chinese and Western Managers. I might also talk about my mid-term goals like part time consulting in small business planning I&#39;d like to do after earning my MBA. <br /><br />Another member who might only be looking at a 20+ year military career could focus on jobs or experiences they would like to have in more Senior Ranks. Posting this could help them draw the attention of a mentor who is doing those things now. <br /><br />Many of us all have goals and interests that extend beyond our time in military service. Including this section could help people with similar mid and long term goals connect. It could also help possible mentors and employers gauge interest that possible candidates might have in employment in the future.

Use them wisely. <br />I issue an electronic coin now and then. Maybe Rally Point should have one awarded by admins or some such to reward behavior you want to see. Or have a real one? <br />There are some snafus now and then when a post vanishes with no explanation. Learning occurs with feedback.<br />Difficult to know how to use the site in some situations; such as a new person learning what and how to scan, or how to tell why their profile is not complete (what's missing). etc. <br />I've sent several suggestions to 'feedback' desk and never got one response. For example, adding former units, such as Women's Army Corps etc might be useful to women veterans...etc. Response by SGM Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 5 at 2014 12:15 PM 2014-11-05T12:15:41-05:00 2014-11-05T12:15:41-05:00 SGM Private RallyPoint Member 311940 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Is there a badge for more than 500 connections?

This is very convenient, and an improvement that I can think of is to tweek the UI so that bar on the top right of the page (messages, notifications, connection requests etc) does the same. At the same time incorporate more real time notifications. Push a notification to the user without them having to refresh or move to another page on the site first.

Also, more B2B or B2C connection possibilities. A lot of veterans here own businesses now, it would be great if instead of getting advertisements from non-veteran owned businesses, we can get advertisements from businesses that we know are veteran-owned and operated.

Freaking annoying having it a single click.

Often I find that feed filled up by new comments to the same question from two people going back and forth.

It kills my phone battery and so I have to turn the notifications off. <br /><br />The ability to change your options on a survey!! That&#39;s a big one as well!!<br /><br />And can we delete our posts?? I haven&#39;t found a button that allows us to. I would like that opportunity as well.<br /><br />ALSO, it would be great if we could just post a good morning without it being erased because it&#39;s not seen as a topic that would keep people engaged. I like saying Good Morning!

There are some members that it is fun to go back and forth with, but the messaging feature is slow and tedious.

Or at least get rid of that stupid reminder Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 2 at 2015 5:35 PM 2015-04-02T17:35:58-04:00 2015-04-02T17:35:58-04:00 SGM Steve Wettstein 836734 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Could you have it so there is a message for every 10 votes so you can have an idea where you are at for the day. There are times when I make a discussion and I will then go and read different posts but I run out of votes for my discussion because I like and vote other posts. Does that sound stupid? I have a tendency to do that?

Some of us don&#39;t know that many people. Ill never get to 100% because of it.
