First off, this is probably more for those who have military themed sites or have something to do with the military on their site. Anyway, I started work on something similar to this several years ago when I was running vB 3, and decided to start work on a new one. Basically I'm in the process of making pages to help members learn more about the military rank structure. I actually found a screenshot from the one I was working on when I had vB 3 going lol (see below).

Anyway, you can see a live demo here: http://www.usmilitarylife.com/military-ranks.php

It's still a work in progress, but trying to see if anyone here is interested in putting something like this on their site when I'm done with it :)

Btw, it's completely CSS. I've finally found out how to code columns in CSS to work perfectly in ALL browsers :D Looks pretty good imo ;)

Screenshots from vB 3:

In the Navy column you have seaman recuit and seaman. They have the white stripes. The airdales have green stripes. Course when I got out I had several of the red chevrons.
Let's see if you can guess what ship I was on. Her nickname was Zippo.

Too easy, the USS Forrestal lol

Anyway, I thought about adding in the airman, fireman, etc. and still might end up doing that.

HMBeaty - Don't forget construction men with the blue chevrons.

I run two Navy forums. Here is a good link to a post you may want to use.
