annoyances. First class is really group 4: Preboard, military, 360, then F. I feel like 360 should be with F. Military should be verified (using something like ID.me) and be put in zone 1 or 2. Just give it as a quiet benefit, and stop using the military as a totem for patriotism and marketing.*
* I was active duty from 1998-2005… my feelings anren’t anti-military or anything like that. Its partially from the fact that there are a lot of professions that deserve our honor and respect, and a member of the military isn’t any more important than a firefighter, a nurse, or anyone else who dedicates their lives to the public good. And secondly, it’s from watching soooo many OPSEC videos that’s say you’re supposed to blend in when traveling.
exactly. I have a DD214 but never faced fire so my military service is equivalent to working at the DMV. Nurses, teachers, FDNY, taxi drivers and convenience store clerks face more danger than I ever did.
take off the marketing materials when you leave service, with exceptions for those with holes in them people firing at them l
