It was my first ops assignment so take this FWIW, but I don't know if I'll ever experience a better community. Extemely, extremly close knit group. It was the best combination of professionalism, cameradiere, and just dudes being dudes. I think it may also a side effect of AFSOC/SOCOM that although we never speak boastfully about what we do, everyone knows it's incredibly important work which helps keep everyone in check. The subdued patches, sunglasses and huge watches also help. Not so much on the full bird, first name thing (ref: professionalism). Still über chill though.
