In a [somewhat] concession to military rank held, we are going to be appointing (volunteers - really) the top 3 enlisted ranks of all the service branches as moderators who have reached "THE American GI" status of 1000 or more postings. A moderator for any particular forum would be from that branch of the military.
Group leaders of the different service groups - Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, and Space Force - also volunteers - every branch and who have reached "THE American GI" forum rank. The group leader must be a member of that branch. The individual branches are color coded and a member of that group's handle will match the color of the branch. The branch of the service is required when a person joins.
US Air Force
US Army
US Coast Guard
US Marine Corps
US Navy
US Space Force
The reasoning behind the minimum posting requirement is to ensure the new volunteer has a feel for the forum and who might function somewhat as a first sergeant or senior enlisted to resolve problems or clarify something. The positions are voluntary and honorary and can be terminated at the discretion of board admin or founders or by the group leaders themselves.
