HEARTFELT POSTS: Make your post heartfelt and personal! Add your own experience, gif, or photo to the comments, too.

ABOUT THIS BWP:

The purpose of this post is to encourage our members to "Support our Troops" by wearing red on Friday. Be advised that RED FRIDAY to Marine Parents is in support of ALL of our troops, not just those on deployment. See the first link below for information on our history with "Red Friday" and our official stance.

The GG making the Thursday post for BWP-3 should also be encouraging them to "Wear Red on Friday". Your job with this post is to encourage them to share photos of their "Red Friday". You can also share the history or share the EGA Shop to buy "Red Friday Gear".


Make this post fun for the members. Many members adore sharing their own photos. Ask them to share their "Red Friday" selfie. Ask the members a question to be answered. Be specific in your request; they'll respond more when you say "Do this..."

There are so many places to get the Red Friday Posts. Several are listed here, in no particular order:

RTU & VCM IMAGES: Each of the links above either ARE the images or include images, but you can also make your own the MP Meme Generator. However, please don't remake EGA Shop images or images from the Like/Share URLs.

Please do NOT use your own personal photo to start the post. Either create a VCM for the post or use an RTU through the suggestions above. There are NO exceptions to this. After your post is pushed to the group, add your personal photo as a comment to your own post.

  REMINDER:
Upload your VCMs to your VO Photo Album in your MP Team Group before using it in your post. Click the folder to open the MP Meme Generator.

MEMBER INTERACTION: Add your VO signature; tag yourself so the members "see" who you are. Be sure to go back in after you make the post so you can talk with the members. They want to hear from YOU.

Important Note to ALL Volunteers: New ideas for a BWP are welcome but require approval FIRST. Seek advise from your coach on new ideas. Your coach will consult with the RTBN Manager. Creating or "piloting" a new post idea is never permitted without explicit permission from the RTBN Manager.
