What does it mean when a base is being "realigned"?

That's my question too.

IN WA state, it seems all the major bases are gaining... 'xcept Fairchild AFB and McChord AFB, which say "realign".

"The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) in Rome is among the military facilities targeted for closure by the Pentagon.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has recommended closing more than 150 large and small military installations across the US.

Fort Drum and Hancock Air Field are not on the BRAC list."

People that complain about noise from military planes should move -- the military has been around a long time and people know when they buy if a runway is nearby.

I wholeheartedly agree. One of the few things I miss about having moved out of Dover is the sound of the C-5s overhead - we lived in one of the flight paths for years.

But I do get to hear the jets from Wallops now.......not quite the same, but still the sound of FREEDOM.

[sangoo]

I wonder why they are closing so many?...

Gotta pay for the illegal alien medical care.

Good morning.

It looks like the Naval and Marine presence in Southern California is being built up. I wonder what that means.

New Mexico lost Cannon AFB near Clovis -- a total of 2,800+ jobs. Big, big OUCH!

[Howlin]

Reserve stations in Asheville and Albemarle closed.

The rest are "realigned."

[marmar]

You know.... human nature.......they like to b!tch alot about noise,when they move to areas that have F16 flying over head. They tend to forget that freedom isn't free.

[Rodney King]

Great news for OK.

[camle]

it's gonna destroy a lot more than groton. the only thing left in eastern ct is the casinos - low paying jobs to say the least.

how long can EB stay afloat without that synergistic relationship with the navy right next door? Five years? ten at the outside?

this started when they closed united nuclear.

(sigh!) and it started off as such a good day....

[hoosiermama]

Crane in S IN is getting realigned too....Really would like to know what that means as several folks in this area work there.

I just went and looked and the thread got closed for being a hoax.

Has anyone heard about the base in Augusta, Georgia?

[twigs]

Willow Grove Naval Air Station in Montgomery County, PA is closing. Bad news for us here.

[camle]

can somebody explain to me why it makes military sense to decimate the entire northeast? CT/NH/ME/MA?

[cp124]

RINO's get what they deserve.

[Howlin]

You'd know more about that than I would, friend. I'll take your word for it.
