To keep you on your toes??

No idea but it's probably a glitch of some kind. Just do as James suggests and all will be right again.

Ciao Bishop,
C'mon. Who wants to be a wing waxer, anyway? (I'm kidding!) :-)
Ciao for now

That's Armorama doing our part to support the Blue to Green program where airmen and sailors stuck in dead end specialties cross over and join the Army and continue to progress through the ranks.

Doh! I just noted that I am not showing any rank at all and my profile screen clearly says I am set on US Army Officer ranks.

I will have to look at the rank settings...

I had to do the same thing, so don't feel bad.

There is obviously a glitch in the code somewhere, I will have to look at it more closely the next time I do work on the forum section.

You ought to re-adjust the rank per post numbers once you get into the 1000+ range. I suggest the following:

COL 1000-1999
BG 2000-2999
MG 3000-3999
LTG 4000-4999
GEN 5000-5999
General of the Army 6000+

Right now, COL is from 1000-1499; BG 1500-1999; MG 2000-2499; LTG 2500-2999; GEN 3000-4999; and General of the Army from 5000-30,000.

Well, I have checked all my settings, and they were still for USAF enlisted....but shows up as Army. I reset it anyway to no avail. One of my pictures in another post also decided to randomly change to a completely different photo from my gallery like two days after I started the thread....heh
