I am happy to report that the User of the Month award is back. It''s not the same user nominated and voted on process however. I have decided that I would like to officiate the selection of a UOM monthly. This has the effect of removing a rather time-consuming part of the process (the voting) and as well I am hopeful that the same people you would like to see win the award will win it, and maybe a few surprises too.
My first selection is Bryan Gray, our Armor/AFV Editor. Bryan has been doing a great job first as an editor and now as the managing editor for the Armor/AFV section of the site.
Thanks Bryan!!

Well done Bryan. A just reward for all the hard work!
So it's more like an "Editor's choice" henceforth? That's cool. And as you say, will expedite things...

Agreed. It should never be forgotten how much is done behind the scenes. And there is quite a few reasons it is deserved here. Great job Bryan. Well deserved.
