Once a year, just like school kids, the Commander makes us all get together for the annual group pic. After two postponments (for various reasons) everyone finally walked outside and posed for a group pic on one of the permanent bunkers. But everyone isn't really 'everyone'. Military has to show up but only about half (if that many) of the civilians showed up. Then there are those that work night and of course they didn't show up. One thing about being over here is that there does seem to be a pecking order. Regular Army tend to look down on Reserve who look down on DAX (Department of the Army Civilians). DAX are civilians whose employer is the US Army and don't wear a uniform while in the states. But when DAX deploy overseas, they then do wear a uniform. Needless to say it seems odd to see a guy with a pony tail and beard in a uniform. And of course DAX look down upon private contractors (of which I am one). One group I rarely deal with is Army Special Forces. Those guys (SF is MEN ONLY) look down on Everyone! But more about SF in another posting. So it's just like high school again with everyone in his/her 'clique'.
