Trophies, Badges, and Ranks!

[Arcbulldog]

I just started paying attention to trophies and points and such and I was confused at first because the trophy requirements talk about the # of posts you have made but when you look at your activity tracker it says messages instead of posts. Not a huge deal but confused me for a few minutes when I was trying to understand the whole thing.

I’m new to all this thanks for clearing that up.

Sir, Is there an Ambassador located at Bagram AFB Afghanistan? Am I allowed to earn Badge points for my constant travels from CONUS to OCUNUS Afghanistan? I figured its an adventure usually not the same route most people would consider normal but, its my life and a path I have chosen to support our troops. There is no said actual route unless by aircraft however the latitude & longitude 34.9445° N, 69.2736° E It is located next to the ancient city of Bagram, 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) southeast of Charikar in the Parwan Province of Afghanistan. Our Overland Vehicles here consist of some outdated HMMWVs and the newly fielded MRAPS Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles. I reside in Lillington NC but, work & live in Bagram most of the year except for every other 4 months travel back home. I still keep actively involved with the site as much as possible considering my remote location.

Thanks Mike that does clarify allot now I need to focus on my goals ... I appreciate the assistance!

Hey Brother you still on BAF? I just saw your post today ... My work location is at the Fluor Materials Yard Acquisitions Supervisor we are located directly across from the NAT Yard .. My living area is at Warrior across from the USO surrounded by T-Walls. I just met a soldier last night who is a member he returns home in a couple days.

[dlstock]

Well that is true. I must say my wife and I both partook. So they do reward you with beer.....So cool

 

[Jim SoG]

Question.. why is your lowest badge displayed on the message board.. it diminishes your effort and the competition.

Check your settings in your profile "Preferences"..."Trophy Display"

I'd be curious too. It seems arbitrarily ... And cannot be turned off for those of us who do not prefer gamification.
