Military Minded & Military Personnal: ( Archived) (18)

there are lots of vets on this site your bound to meet some on here

Have you checked out the Aussie / Kiwi forums, there are i think least four or five and a half veterans posting in there

I think the chat room is great. I met a sweet and wonderful woman in the CS chat room, although that relationship ultimately did not work out.

I see you're in Australia. Since I work nights here in the US, when I visit the chat room it is almost exclusively populated by 'roos and kiwis. I have always found them friendly and fun.

But there's this: as with any chat room anywhere, it tends to be dominated by the regulars. Breaking in and getting comfy can seem daunting. You say you're military-minded? You must understand the concept of rank, then.

But it only takes about 3 days in a row of stopping by, being polite, and being friendly, to become one of those "regs." A tip to make yourself welcome: whenever someone comes in and everyone else says "Hi so-and-so," chime in. Couple days of that and everyone will welcome you.

(Although they don't actually say "Hi so-and-so." Instead, they echo the last letter of the user's name: "Userrrrrrrrrr," for example. That means they just noticed a familiar name enter. But you can just say "Hi so-and-so" when they do.)

Give it another try, they are sweet people generally.
