Military Member Usergroup

Alright, we have one new usergroup on the forum we would like to announce. We would like to honor all those that have or are serving our country by giving them thier own usergroup to denote them on the site. Usernames will show up as a bold gray lettering to show who is a member of this group. There will be some rules for this though, and they will be STRICKLY enforced.

To be eligable to get the military member usergroup, you must be currently serving or be a former armed services member that was discharged in good standing. To prove this we will require emailed proof of this. This means either your current orders, discharge papers, etc will need to be shown for proof of service. Due to the fact that i personally would find it dispicable for anyone to degrate our men and women in uniform by doing so, ANYONE who would try to present themselves untruthfully as a member of are armed services will recieve an immediate ban from this site. This is something to show our gratitude for those who have or are serving and we wont tolerate this gesture to be taken advantage of in the slightest.

Once again, thank all of you for what you do and for anyone looking to have this usergroup added to thier profile, please email Alan , including your username, at rodslinger@gmail.com Any branch, including the coast guard, national guard, and any reserves are welcome to send me the info!!

usergroups do two things...first of all they have the "powerstroke whatever"...mod, tech...the banner that shows up by your name....secondly usergroups are what determine the different colors on the site....anyone in gray now will be a "millitary member"...you can actally have more than one usergroup. Click "staff" on top and it will maybe be clearer...but "sponsor, premium member, tech, mod, etc" are all usergroups...

I

just hope that by what we on this site try to do for our service men and women is enough to show that they are still fighting for a good cause. I know that when all they hear are politicians and reporters they may stray a bit. I sure am thankful for what they have done are doing and will do.

this is AWSOME. Can't wait to see how many Grays we have, and I dont mean the little guys on the spaceships.

a picture of it with a digital camera would work just fine too...also, im the only one (or alan if anyone chooses to go through him) that will see any of the paperwork, but feel free to white out any info you dont want seen, you can do that in any photo program or word proccessor after its on your computer

Excellent idea Marc.. I really like it.

I hope our military members will take advantage... I like the idea of knowing who among us served. We all owe them a great deal, whether they saw combat or not.
