Lol! Yep, it’s still open and bigger than ever. Been there since 1943.

“Damn, that’s an ugly pilot. Who is that?”

“That is Commander Al E. Gator, Sir.”

“Damn. Was he standing in back of the plane during the afterburner demonstration?”

Problem is more than obvious.

One gator got in a few years ago and everyone said it was cute and was followed by others and everyone said it was cute and someone in charge suggested putting them back in their habitat and since it was/is a government facility, permission had to be gotten and then environmentalists stepped in and said the gator had as much right to be there basking in the mud puddle so a hold was put on removing the gators- MEANWHILE one of the gators that got ejected before EPA and PETA etal stepped in, got back to the herd and told all about the freebies at the NAS so there was a surge of gators until someone said why don’t you people put up a fence or two and stem the flow of gators and then Congress acted and said it was a given right for the gators to be there and if nothing else we would be granting amnesty in one year to the gators already there and the word got back to gator land and the dumb gators were told better get to NAS JAX now and take advantage of the amnesty coming up and it escalated from there.

It’s in Florida. It’s a native.

I live in Sun City, Hilton Head, where ANOTHER person was just attacked by an alligator while in the yard with her dog. They keep telling me alligators are "part of the landscape and ambiance". And that we need to learn to live with them. A 9-foot reptile, with the brain the size of a kernel of corn that is basically programmed to EAT YOU, is treated like some kind of worshipped deity. They are killers and anything over 5 feet long, in a senior community, should be killed. PERIOD!!!

This "problem" is why I CCW in Sun City. I'm not "hunting" for them, but I wouldn't hesitate to protect myself. However, if I ever shot one, I'd probably go to jail. (If they caught me!, otherwise I'd shoot another one!).

There’s at least one gator every water hazard on the NAS Jax golf course. This one was probably just trying to get away from a bigger gator and find him a new water hazard!
