Should the Bamberg, Germany group or any other Military Post Location group be limited to members currently stationed there?

I was stationed at Warner Barracks, Bamberg, Germany from 1981 until 1984. Many US Military posts in Germany have been and are being returned to the German government. Because I am not currently stationed in Bamberg, Germany I can be a follower but not a member of the group. As we continue to drawdown forward deployed forces and reduce our military bases through the periodic Base Realignment and Closure [BRAC] process if groups are limited to current members, then many OCONUS and some CONUS groups would need to be closed else change to topic groups.

I was there from early 06 until the end of 2012. It wa great people and met my wife there. So if you where there at anytime you should be a member it's about Warner barracks not what unit you where in

SSG Leslie Pittman, sounds like you really had a great time there . I enjoyed being stationed in Bamberg 1981 - 1984and also worked with many great soldiers primarily from 1/52 IN but also from 3/32 AR, 1/54 IN, and 2/78 FA which were the Battalions of 3rd Brigade, 1st AD stationed at Warner barracks in those days.
