Are you an active member in your regimental association?
I'm a lifetime member of the Ordnance Corps Assoctiation, and I work directly for my proponent office (I work Quality Assurance for CASCOM, with an emphasis on Ordnance courses, which is basically Training Institution.schools assesment and accreditation, Courseware analysis and improvement, instructor assesment, training, and improvement, Reserve/National Guard assesment/Accreditation/ assistance, and general problem solver for training institutions). It's been an interesting assignment. Up until this point, my Regiment existed in theory, it was just a pin that had to go on my uniform.

It's been great getting to see it as an actual organization/institution, and meeting and working with the key members, and being able to effect changes that will affect generations of future Ordnance Soldiers.

I'm going to be a bit bummed in July when I PCS. It's been a very rewarding few years..
