What I am nagging you about is the assertion that the gentleman in question, kandrathe, was "making stuff up." What he had to say makes more sense than what you have to say, based on my own experience, which includes quite a few years of serving with Marines as professional colleagues.
Your glib reference to "team" as jargon is mistaken, and beyond that, I suppose you probably don't understand what being on a team really is if you refer to it as "jargon."
I've been an athlete/sports player all my life -- albeit I am now quite the "has been" -- and being on a team, being a solid team mate is not jargon: it is a very real thing.
Enough.
You have made up your own mind, which I suppose is good enough for your own purposes, and will probably stand you in good stead at present.
