To date we have only had one General although Hermann is fast approaching that exalted rank :thumbup:
Both Hermann and Alpha have one thing in common, They both live/d in the Pacific area of the World so if you are chasing promotion perhaps you should aquire a bus ticket to Midway Island :haha:
The way to gain promotion on this site is to write pertinant or interesting or helpful messages to the Forum :thumbup:
By the way in the British Army unlike the US Army a Brigadier is not a General for all he/she is a one Star rated senior officer it used to be different but post WW2 there was a shuffle in senior appointments in the service.

I remember when this forum design implemented "rank" or special "titles" based on post count. That was around 2000-2001. I used to frequent a car enthusiast forum of the same design. I just went back there to check my stats, I have 8,135 posts that started in 2001. Last time I posted there was 2021 on an OG roll call thread, and then I just checked it now. they have since removed "ranks" and "titles".

with the British rank system, used on this British forum, privates don't get a stripe, one stripe is for Lance-corporal, which isn't quite a Corporal lol.

Well, I lost nearly 4000 posts when I was, um, er, reset lol. So, I would have over 10,500 now lol.
