“GMRS is both fun and very useful.“
I might characterize GMRS as “fun and necessary”.
Because many of the GMRS license-holders have not studied FCC rules, nor standard ham radio “decorum”, I find GMRS to be less useful for activities such as EMCOMMS (Emergency Communications) where communication protocols exist to allow effective, timely, and focused communication.
GMRS is necessary, however, because it allows nearly everyone to have access to some type of radio communications regardless of whether the power grid or cell-service is available. You might have to put up with a lot of interrupting f-bombs and d**k-jokes, though, while trying to learn the safest route out of your city, lol.
