I see that each member of the forum has a rank, with some of the longer serving members being higher ranks. Is their some system for it?
Post early. post often.
Yep, as lentulus says, it's based on how many posts you have. I think the first promotion occurs at 50 posts, so not too far to go!

An unconfirmed rumour has it that you get commissioned automatically for any five posts calling for a conquest of Mexico range.
Based on my posting frequency I should be promoted soon. But after that my captains bars are a ways off.

Probably this one: http://www.lonesentry.com/ordnance/samml-kw-kfz-42-charging-truck.html
Maybe the tracks and feathered headdress are a field modification? Probably done by the little known German expedition to Central America?
Shouldn't dat un 'ave 'orns ?.....

Oh....So it's not people then.
I only do things with limbs....or tentacles.....or claws. ;)

Why do Forum owners sit there smuggly when we ask sensible questions such as "how can I get promoted?" and never really answer?
Pete Jones does the same on his BKC forum. Something to do with the "it's my ball" syndrome I suspect.

My own answer (reply 1) is correct, if in a joking form. Leon's (reply 2 and our host here) is complete and polite.
After that, why not joke around?

He's just annoyed that we haven't produced any Samll's yet...
;)
If a samll is a charging truck, what's a stationary one? :-B
We all know the truth, it's not what you know, it's who you know.
I should be Field Marshal of the Universe, but Leon is still smarting after I posted a few comments about his height. (He really is the the model for many of the ranges, but the model makers have to scale the greens up).

Mmmm!
What he hasn't told you is that he's just been transferred to the Swiss Navy. :d
Once had drinks with their admiral, lovely chap! Cute wife too...
FRom Wiki:
Landlocked Switzerland does not have a high-seas navy, but it does maintain a fleet of military lake patrol boats. This includes the Aquarius-class Patrouillenboot 80 PBRs, operated by Motorboat Company 10, which patrol Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne, Lake Lugano, Lake Maggiore and Lake Constance.[19]
Discussed the fleet, three patrol boats on Lake Geneva to stop smuggling! He was the admiral because it was his turn (according to his wife).
;D
