    Default There's a gold bar under my name. What's that all about?

    You'd think that just by virtue of posting messages at this site, that someone is keeping track or something...

    Its to do with the number of log entries you make, it means you have been promoted to an Ordinary Seaman.
    When you have 50 log entries you will get 2 gold bars and become an Able Seaman which I think I have just become.

    PS having checked it seems to be automatic and takes place immediately.

    Congrats on your butter-bar, Michael, and on your second Don.

    Yep, it's automatic, a software feature common in many board-ware platforms.

    Having served in the USAF I can assure it's the same in real life...first couple are for showing up and breathing, then you have to work for it.
