I also arranged to go with a bunch of my old Air Force buddies so we turned it into a little reunion.

But to your point the whole thing was a little disorienting. Felt like a giant propaganda festival. It was clearly designed for the other employee groups. The 20 or so pilots there all kind of on an island. I went a few weeks ago and I can confirm the VPs are not happy with how things are regarding OOBWSs.
