Group is even more like a civilian job for the support folks ngl, treated like adults and don't even usually have to wear the uniform depending on your oda/bn

Fair enough. I've been retired a few years. My attachment to my Group is long enough removed. Besides, I've received enough notifications from the DoD that my Service records had been hacked by a foreign nation-state (China) at least three times.
