From my experience, the difference is that the military is becoming increasingly run by inexperienced political appointees, unqualified civilian employees who cant be fired and unscrupulous contractors. Political appointees with political agendas and no military experience  in particular have been given full reign over many functions that were in the past held open only for actual military people with actual military training. Decisions are made for the wrong reasons by the wrong people - that is the easy answer. The more complex answer which I believe is the more accurate is that other government agencies have been "let in" to impose all sorts of regulations on a structure that should operate essentially independently. Allowing other agencies and contractors such as Department of Interior and GSA to run operations at military bases and installations OFTEN conflicts with military culture and the very basic ideas that are instilled into each service person. They watch as the civilians are allowed to file all sorts of complaints for sexual harassment and mistreatment while they have to keep thier mouths shut or face the reprecussions from fellow soldiers - one slight wrong move and a military career is ended while the civilians can get away with just about anything and never be fired just promoted. They watch as the civilians are paid ten times the pay and do 1/10th the work. They are not allowed to be "real" people but are forced to work with them and take direction from them. I think it is frustration that has caused this situation and fear of opening your mouth because you may be deemed insuborninate. The military wants the best and brightest but then does not allow them to be so - the best paid most complicated positions are given to contractors and unless you really manage to get into a specialty that has a market out of the military (there are not a lot of civilian jobs for infantry) you have no marketable skills - NADA - when you get out.\nAll that said, I wish I had done the three or four years it would have taken to get the benefits that come along with the job - the question is: would it have been worth it to sit and be quiet for that time to get a cheap mortgage while risking being court martialed for speaking my mind?\n\nI just have to add to this due to being called a "dumbass" below by an enlisted Navy person. This I have worked with the military for over 2O years on the consultant side - I have worked directly with DOD HQ, Army, Marines, AF, and Navy. I can say I have far more insight into the inner workings of the Pentagon than most people do and particularly FAR MORE than the front line people such as the name-caller. Most of my work has been at the SEC DEF level but have also worked many years directly with installations all over the country. I have outed many unsrupulous contractors that were defrauding the government and watched retiring LTCs beg for jobs upon retirement that they are never qualified for as there is always a more qualified contractor out there. I have watched as political decisions have made people so mad that they did nto re-enlist SO -I can say without calling you names, that you do not have the insight that I do. My observation comes from a slightly different view than yours - you somehow believed that I was some disgrunteled service person - what a laugh! I am on the other end of the stick. You also misread what I am saying - ready - shoot - aim! Given your job - you do not really have a comprehension of what I am speaking of as you are too low in rank and position to feel or see this pinch yet -not a slam FYI - it is just that you do not see this level of interchange yet - it comes far above your rank and skill type. Military is now run by PC politics - politics  creates problems when it trys to run the military by non-military standards with the intervention of other branches of government. If you want to pursue a career you need to read first and digest -

An ombudsman is an official, usually (but not always) appointed by the government, who is charged with representing the interests of the public by investigating and addressing complaints reported by individual citizens. The term arose from its use in Sweden, with the Parliamentary ombudsman instituted in 1809, to safeguard the rights of citizens by establishing a supervisory agency independent of the executive branch. The word ombudsman and its specific meaning has since been adopted in to English as well as other languages, and ombudsmen has been instituted by other governments and organizations such as the European Union.\n\nRecently, since the 1960s, the profession has grown primarily in corporations, universities and government agencies. This current model, sometimes referred to as an organizational ombudsman, works as a designated neutral who has high rank in an organization but is not considered management. Using an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) sensibility, an organizational ombudsman can provide options to whistleblowers or employees with ethics concerns, provide mediation for conflicts, track problem areas, and make recommendations for changes to policies or procedures.\n\nThe origin of the word is found in Old Norse and the word umbuds man, meaning representative. The first preserved use in Swedish is from 1552. It is also used in the other Scandinavian languages such as the Icelandic "umboðsmaður", the Norwegian "ombudsmann" and the Danish "ombudsmand".\n\nThe first ombudsmen flourished in China during Qin Dynasty (221 BC) and in Korea during the Choseon Dynasty. The Romans also grappled with the problem, but it was the example of the second Muslim Caliph, Umar (634-644) and the concept of Qadi al-Qadat (developed in the Muslim world), which influenced the Swedish King, Charles XII. In 1713, fresh from self exile in Turkey, Charles XII created the Office of Highest Ombudsman. The Scandinavians subsequently moulded the Office into its contemporary form.\n\nAn ombudsman need not be appointed by government; they may work for a corporation, a newspaper, an NGO, or even for the general public. Such an ombudsman obviously does not carry any governmental powers or sanction abilities.

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The United States Code (USC) is the codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States.  They are therefore different, as they deal with two separate areas (one administrative rules/regulations, and one laws/codes) and should be discussed separately.
