Military/DoD Are you active duty, retired or a veteran?

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.

Most other RV forums have a specific section for military.
