The men and women of Moody have historically enjoyed respect and support from area citizens, perhaps evidenced most strongly by the intense lobbying to save the base when it appeared on a closure list. Not only was the base spared, but the base gained approximately 600 positions. Moody also employs nearly 700 civilians.

Personnel at Moody return the hospitality to the metropolitan Valdosta area. One of the community favorites is the haunted house during Halloween. Area high school and college students interested in a military career are also welcomed to “shadow” a Moody member in a particular career field for a day.
