Sinister, sorry for your dealings with shady bastards, but this just supports the section. Those wanting to be slim shady, not offer discounts to other mil members simply wont post in the section. Its a voluntary thing. I can make a trip to El Paso if you like, its only a few hours away. I just need all info you have on him, besides this could be fun

With what CAT3 said about shipping is so true to here. Companies think cause you live here in Hawaii that you got money like no tomarrow, when most of us are MIL. Companies off FREE shipping to the lower 48 then charge u 100 to ship to Hawaii.. come on thats BS. I know SpeedInc has done a great deal of help with shipping here and only charged what it cost them to ship out here and lowered a few of the prices to help since there was no Free shipping like the lower 48. I priced through different companies a 9in rear end I got anything from 700 to 1200 to ship. I nearly shi+ myself.

Make it a hidden forum, that way only military have access via permission from the mods. It may be a pain in the *** at first, but that way you only need to verify your information once, and then the mods can have it on file just in case someone tries to rip you off.

And if you PCS, then you also need to inform the mods so they can update your contact info.

Mil-only for sale section? Useless and redundant.
Let's say you want to sell an STB, mil-to-mil just because you prefer dealing with the military. You post it on the mil for sale section. You get no bites for a week, so you post the same exact ad in the regular classifieds. It would have been easier to post the classifieds in the "public" forum and denote that you prefer to deal with mil first.
It makes more sense to make a little note in your post saying "mil preferred" instead of posting in a mil-only forum. Honestly, a whole new forum shouldn't be made to accomodate segregation. And that's all I'm seeing here - a request for segregation. It's poorly justified too. The military population here isn't so big that we can't participate in the public classifieds without establishing a preference to deal with the military.
Some of you believe that military info is a nice form of "insurance" against bad sellers. If I were to sell something, the last thing I'd want to give out is identifying information in regards to my employment. I can make an honest sale without relying on my military credentials. By using this information as a form of collateral (in the way of getting in touch with somebody's commander), you're also opening a backdoor for exploitation by malicious people. What happens when the mil info is worth gold to classified transactions? It becomes spoofed.
I think Nine Ball already said it - you should have established some sense of trust before dealing with a board member. Capitalizing on mil info is icing on the cake at best, and it doesn't warrant a new forum.
The icon under the avatar is a good idea, though.
