seems the military has changed significantly since my era. it appears that accepting troops to perform duty has now become discretionary
this was a medical retention unit where soldiers who had been injured on deployment were sent to recover. they were assigned to work for different units around the post according to what their injury/recovery status allowed. some drove the post shuttle taxis, some worked as office clerks, some worked in the DFAC. The intent was to keep them as gainfully employed as their medical status would allow, instead of just allowing them to lay around doing nothing and collecting a check. (it seemed that if they actually had to work, they seemed to "recover" faster and could be returned to full active duty status)
but hey....nice try at calling me a liar. thanks for playing
