Yes! Example: HHC, 2/21 INF(M) After I'd been there a bit, I realized that this was a unit that turned good soldiers. I was actually glad that I badly broke my ankle, that it would be a 9-month recovery, and they sent me to motor pool to do paperwork and other things (I was a TAMMS clerk, a job that was made obsolete by computers after I left Ft Stewart). And the motor officer wouldn't let me go even after I healed. I had found a place in that unit where I could excel.
