Please note that posting purely to achieve a higher rank will not be tolerated. Ranks do not reflect status or power on these forums.

 

What abount the medal of honor award? I saw someone with that

 

I believe that's reserved for genuine WWII Veterans.

 

ok that makes sense

I thank all the vets too

 

Any chance of getting a system where you choose your rank from AIRFORCE/ARMY/NAVY when you get to that level?

Eg: 0-49 option of Private, Ordinary Seaman or Aircraftsman 1C.

we are in a TANK forum :angry:

 

The answer have to be 'no' anyway. We just don't have the tools needed to provide any options.

 

I was wondering about that , but you would have to overhaul the website to do that , and air force ranks are the same as the army ranks , in canada they are I don't don't know elsewhere

 

Officer rank insignia are the same for US Army, USAF, and USMC. The US Navy also uses the same insignia for officers but the name of the rank is different.

Enlisted ranks are much more varied.

 

Some form of national distinction or insignia would be better, however I do not suggest this as a serious proposition (It's probably more hassle than it's worth anyway and if nothing else most forum members pay little attention to Forum "Ranks" as it is), just that as a British 'plane buff I would rather have a British Army rank and pips than a USAF one, no offence to the Americans here of course.

 

Rgr that guys,

Tomba

 

But you already have your special rank!

Your requests are all heard, however as yet there is little we can do for the reason Skua mentioned.

 

Yes I know posting just to recieve rank is not tollerated. I just though it would be interesting to know

 

Are the ranks just for fun then?

 

Essentially, yes.

 

can I get frozen , or demoted , I've been in the army and are Very
suspicious of the ego trap ,


:roll: :roll:

 

No they are to see who is most harcore on this forum.

 

Or who needs to spend time elsewhere??? :lol:

 

O. K . so its compulsory promotion , definitely like the army




P.S. on the good side N.S.W. won in rugby yeeeehaaa !!!!
