Title: Attainging Rank in the "Army"
Post by: Uncula on January 06, 2011, 03:00:19 AM
 ??? Does anyone else wonder how you attain rank in the U.M.A.?

I used to think it was by posting "New Topics", replying to other posts.  As I have looked around lately, that just doesn't seem to really be the case.
Have you ever considered this?
Do you know the answer?

after some time and hopfuly some replies, maybe the General will chime in with the right answer!!  thrhrt

Uncula, I believe it is based on the amount of posts you actually make.

Or how well you do during top-secret, life-threatening missions.

Ooohhh...tell me more about the missions! Do they involve pelting the "Twilight" kids with stale raspberries and creamed corn?  :)

There's very little our General would NOT do for a case of Tab.

There is no beyond, except for moderator ranks/positions.

Charp...I will gladly add a couple of Habenero peppers to that creamed corn mixture.  You could fly to Jupiter on one of them...if it didn't kill you outright.

So we're an army of non-coms and enlisted personnel? Maybe we need a Warrant Officer or a Regimental Sargeant Major!  ;D

My dream is to reach 20,000 posts and never actually say anything meaningful. Personally, I think I'm off to a ripping start.

Guys,

I think this thread has gotten off topic. Let's all try to focus and stick to the important subject.

Which is TAB.

This thread reminds me of the opening narration to STALAG 17:

"In our compound there were about 630 of us, all American airmen: radio operators, gunners, and engineers. All sergeants. Now you put 630 sergeants together and, oh mother, you've got yourself a situation. There was more fireworks shooting off around that joint... take for instance the story about the spy we had in our barracks... "

[I'm sure that last bit refers to folk from the CHFB].
