What is the role of veterans (not actively serving) on RallyPoint?

Frank - you hit the nail on the head.  Over the last
month I’ve become increasingly frustrated on Rally Point as I’ve witness people
wanting to talk about, what I view as, insignificant topics.  Topics such as what is your favorite cadence
or should people who didn’t actually do 20 years be allowed to be called retirees,
all the while watching certain retirees hide behind their previous military
rank and “hold court” with those of lesser rank. 

WE ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT FOLKS.  

From a veteran standpoint, I see Rally Point as a place for those
who have transitioned to assist those about to transition or help those who are
having a hard time finding work/adjusting to civilian life.  Be their sounding board to help them find
their way.  No rank, no egos, just people
who share the brotherhood of military service assisting those in need, where we
can, along the path they’ve chosen. 

I’d like to see a section on Rally Point where transitioning
soldiers can get assistance writing their resumes, be assigned mentors, be
instructed on how to interview, how to change the military acronyms into
language civilians can understand, how to network, how to ask for a raise, how
to get a job, how to apply for a loan, how to do whatever it is that they need
to do.

I’ve met many on Rally Point who have the skills to asset vets
and transitioning military members.  We
can make Rally Point’s open forum what we want and I’m stepping up willing to
put my experience in the civilian world to good use.   Anyone
else of the same mind?
