yes, no, yes, sort of, no, maybe, occasionally.

It is private, it actually has nothing to do with the government, I believe you have to "join" similar to a credit union, it does/did require military affiliation (I still don't know how my friend got his membership), and I am absolutely certain I have made that clear as mud!
