Hello,

I received this comment from a classmate, and wonder if we can accommodate his wish?

"Can you please fix the profile section to add US Coast Guard to the military service option? It's a small thing, however we ARE the longest serving branch (1789) and we serve with pride!"

Thanks!

Sally

ps -- I just realized that Bud Coburn asked the same thing! Sorry 'bout that. Still hoping for a positive answer!

I also have a member that served Coast Guard and another in Air National Guard.

Coast Guard and National Guard have been added.

Awesome, thank you so much!
Sally

Brad,

Will this military service question be the one that adds a flag next to the classmate's name on the classmate profile page?

Thanks!

Vicki

Hi Vicki,

Yes the flag icon is added next to their name and if there is at least one person who has that icon the icon will appear in the list of icons at the top of your classmate profiles page.

Historically, there are a number of Conscienscious Objectors who served their country in Alternative Service. Some chose non-combat positions in the military services while others did such things as being a human "guinnea pig" at NIH, thus fulfilling their military obligations to the draft and avoiding prosecution. Can you add Alternative Service to your list, or something like "Other" that accounts for it?

You could add "Other, non-military service" as a comment box in your Profile Generator.

Jessica,

I don't see the flag. I see a white box where it should be, and there is just a white box at the top of the screen where the other icons are listed.

Thanks,

Vicki

This is all set now. We were making a few tweaks.

Thank you for adding the other branches. I was getting a little buzz for not having them there!!! Had to explain I wasn't responsible. LOL
