I've been noticing stripes on many of the posters' avatars, what looks like an oak leaf on TonyD's, sergeant's stripes on Lynn, and apparently Derek is a bird colonel.
Now, my first thought was "Oh, Derek is putting people's rank insignia above their avatars - neat!" Then I noticed a first time poster with a stripe... OK, he hasn't mentioned serving, so that can't be it. Then I noticed a stripe above MY avatar... and I don't think that a former security guard counts for getting a stripe!!
So, Derek... since you're a colonel and TonyD is a Major (? - not sure about that... isn't Lt Col a gold oak leaf?), are the rank insignia for forum purposes? Moderators, etc?
Just wondering.
PS - Got the info on my soldier from Operation AC - looks like s/he's an MP. The first name could be either man or woman; I'll have to write and find out.
