The ladies at this site are rude, unwelcoming, ungrateful and unappreciative. I initially started a thread and made a long post about militray housing, forest city and North Chicago in general. I was trying to be helpful and give fair warning to those transferring to NAVSTA Great Lakes only to be outright ganged up on and attacked by those women. Some "OKs", "thank yous", etc... would've been nice followed by some grown up discussion instead of the BS I ended up getting. They were continually asking me who I was and what my affiliation was and I kept telling them the first half of my post pretty much explained that which told me they really didn't bother reading what I initially had to say because if they had, they would've never been asking me those things to begin with. To be entirely honest, only a couple of ladies truly appreciated my post. Everyone else tried to turn it around and say I was the rude and hostile peron, not them. They even went as far as telling me had I gone to the newbies section and post a pleasant little post about who I was without going on the so-called tanget I had gone on, they would've received me differently and had given me a more warmer welcome. I told them I had no idea that was a requirement before actually posting anything and that many people just jump on in and begin posting. There are plenty of people who never really get around to actually introducing themselves, but that doesn't mean they need to act the way they do. These military SOs harbor a lot of hostility and are quite full of themselves. I highly recommend staying away from this support site (there are other better ones, like
CinCHouse and Solo-Ops, to be a part of. Forget MilitarySOS. It used to be a good commnity when Brandi owned and ran it, but after it got sold it went to pot rather quickly. I think she eventually realized the mistake she made and tried to rectify it by getting back, but was unable to. Too bad. It never should've been sold to begin with.
