Im a member of another message board where theres lots of military personnel. They pointed out that Iowa had three naval base closures. I know its not unusual for landlockefd areas to have naval units but it gives me a weird vision of a fleet somehow sailing across the state!

Now. all those Reps. and Senators who rant about the need for tax cuts, elimination of government waste, and the need for economy (in both parties) will be releasing heart-rending statements about the awful impact of these cuts in their states. They will also document how the security of the Nation depends on the continued operation of (name the facility) in their district.

That list has to be a fake.
There's no way in absolute hell they would close Eglin, Edwards, Vandenburg, and the biggest BS closing: Andrews. Edit: Just waking up, I thought the pasted list was the same as the linked list. ![]() |

I'll have to get my boyfriend to look over that list. he's Reserves here in WA, and he's got to get up really early to get to his drill the first weekend of the month. he's going to be really mad if his reserve center is closed. (he's army, but two of those army centers don't have locations listed that I saw.)

Ever since 1990 someone in the military command/political PTBs has had it in for southeastern Connecticut. Especially the Navy, which apparently waited until they were sure Rickover wasn't coming back from the dead before starting to dismantle what the Admiral had built there.
