You better have the answer. Asking us without knowing is mean. (...and I might come back and give you a down vote)

I agree CPT Jack Durish, I believe most who downvote are simply petti, maybe even the “assholes” of the world. There are some who I just don’t get; they downvote without explanation, don’t retract when shone to be wrong, or apply a standard that does not fit all situations. There is one on this thread who fits all three of those descriptions!

I am sure there are threads with more down votes but this is the highest I have ever participated in. I am still wondering if the RP staff actually ate all those points....bahahahaha!

Wow. I read the post and this guy is off his rocker. I am not sure why he is more worried about the BX privileges so much. I am currently active and 8 months from retirement and shop at Walmart more than I do the BX unless it's a big purchase, just to save the tax. I am more worried about my medical benefits the most. Thanks for the share CSM (Join to see).

There is no difference in a retired person and one still in the uniform. We all either served or are still serving. The money in retirement is a lot less and for what one can find cheaper in the PX god bless you! I have not used a PX, Bx since I was a SPC at Ft Hood in 1977. I have to retract my statement in Iraq we used those nasty, dirt filled trailers.

I have only down voted once and that was right after I joined RallyPoint and didn't fully understand the implications of the down vote. I could have made my point a lot better through full comments but I thought the best way was to down vote. I apologized and moved on. Haven't done another one yet. I will reserve those for truly inappropriate and wrong posts versus peoples opinions.

A1c. I gave one and received a pretty harsh review for another member. But name calling and baiting another just because you disagree is a little to much for me. Come very close the other day because of name calling and talking about a certain part of the country. I think some like to start things and stir a pot of crap up.

I agree with both of you. The one time I did down vote someone I was called everything but my name. So I reserve those down votes for the ones that truly deserve it and then wait for the name calling to occur.
