Would like to hear people's thoughts on the evolution the the U.S. Army's club systems( officers club, NCO club) and the ultimate demise of this system and the creation of all-ranks clubs and activities. The Navy and Marine Corps still have an system of segregating the ranks in these and other ways. My opinion; I wished the Army would have never created the all-ranks clubs systems. I could guess that it had a lot to do with fights. The Australian Army segregates the Mess and clubs as well and in ours I think it has, over the last two decades created an environment where NCOs have lost respect and inappropriate friendships and relationships have have been created between the lower enlisted and NCO ranks across the entire formation.
Thoughts?

The club system (at least for the Army) became obsolete as the civilian world began to encroach towards bases. Why stay on base to drink when you can go off base just as easily? Also the Army has become a bit less rank segregated than the Navy (although the Navy has a valid reason why they still maintain it).

For an Officer to tell me he was my friend, I took it in to the concept that he or she was there to help if needed, not to go partying and drinking with. The same with NCO's and EM (E4 and below).
