[edit] Things you can do

I've created a combined "WikiProjects"/"Things you can do" box by transcluding the US task force's to-do list template. I think that should be sufficient for the time being (and perhaps permanently), but please feel free to revert if you don't think it appropriate here. Kirill Lokshin 01:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:NATO

Why was Portal:NATO removed from the related portals? NATO is a military alliance that the US is a part of. -- MCG 06:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

because NATO is an alliance of the US, it should be veiwed from the diplomatic side, not military. If a military need arises, it will be called on from the US government, not NATO. Joe I 10:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal box on pages

I hereby motion to change the current portal box on pages from the version with the old Naval Jack:

to this version with the Gadsden Flag:

I believe this new version speaks for more of the US Military as a whole and is more recognizable than the Naval Jack. -GreyGh0st 00:04, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Seeing as how Image:Naval Jack of the United States.svg is the current ensign flown as a sign of our war on terrisom, I dont think it should change. Barring other opions. Joe I 23:20, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Units and Awards

Any suggestions on this box would be most helpful. I feel it's a neat box to have and would love to keep it around. Unfortunatly, it's a pain to update! I'm sure I can find enough units for 365 days, but awards even including badges, I'm not so sure about. Joe I 09:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anniversary section

There is need of an amount of work on Anniversary section. There is a large backlog existing. Atleast have 5-10 days back-ups for the section. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 13:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
