Yes, RB, I know how you are using it. I was in the USAF for 20 years and my son is a USAF pilot. I went to boot camp at Lackland AFB, Tx. we called it Lackland. I was at Laughlin AFB, Tx, We called it Laughlin. I was at Travis AFB, Ca, we called at Travis. We usually left off the AFB part, simply to cut down on verbiage. That was the only reason. It doesn’t matter whether it is called Vandenberg Air Force Base, or Vandenberg Space Force Base. Almost no one is going to say all those words. They will simply say Vandenberg, to shorten it, like we did since the 60s.

Because that will still be its name.

Just Space Force rather then Air Force.
