Have you ever wanted to join the IDF and see what the army’s all about? Well, now you can, with IDF Ranks — embedded directly in all IDF social platforms!

IDF Ranks promotes you for your activities around IDF-related material. Your every action — commenting, liking, sharing and even just visiting — rewards your efforts, as well as helps show the true face of IDF all over the world.

OH MY, I’D LIKE TO JOIN!

Fantastic! And it only takes 10 seconds. In fact, you might’ve already noticed IDF Ranks is enabled at the bottom of your screen in this blog. Now that you understand better what it does, you can activate IDF Ranks by clicking on it where it says “Click to join“.

DO I NEED TO CREATE A NEW USER?

No need — just log in through your existing Facebook or Twitter account and you’re ready to go!

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

Simply continue your regular browsing on the IDF blog, and your every activity will reward you with points. Collect them to climb the ranks in the IDF, and learn more about what’s happening in the IDF.

You start off as a Green Private (the lowest rank) and move up from there. With enough work, you can become an officer, and even the virtual Chief of Staff!

TO INFINITY, AND BEYOND!

That’s the spirit, soldier. Welcome aboard. Now get started and score some badges. You can earn badges by completing several specific tasks. For instance, ‘like’ 3 different articles in the front page and you’ll get a brand new badge for that. (Shiny.)

There are dozens of badges — just visit the full badge map to find more things to do. Some are easy to get, some are hard – but they’re all rewarding.

Good luck, soldier!
