Why?
I mean, why would an RV focussed site create sections for various career choices?
1) Military retirees and 100% disabled and some retired DOD civilians can use many military base RV parks across the country. When I see a post about campground on a forum without a military section - always have to explain the system - and always get some folks complaining "That's not fair" and "That's a waste of my tax money"
2) Military veterans often have unique health issues related to their service. Many people chose a primary forum and don't visit many. A good place to communicate special information.
I'm not saying there should be a separate section - but vets and retirees are a significant group within the RV community.
Good points. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
Seems to me that an entire separate website for military/ veterans/retirees would be well supported.
As far as: "...and always get some folks complaining "That's not fair" and "That's a waste of my tax money"". I believe those benefits are self supporting.
PS I've been a DOD Civilian employee for 31 years.
