i havent heard....
I am still waiting on word about the only 2 DOD places in Ohio, but their does not seem to be anything.
Certainly with all the DFAS stuff closing in SC and Cali, it might all be moving to the big DFAS center in Columbus.....good news for my dad...
as for me, I am thinking there isnt going to be a closure of Wright pat. They would have announced it I think....
Yep.......nearly 4000 military and civilian jobs. A really big hit to South Dakota.
If they're really closing Ellsworth, I have to question their wisdom. It is hard to imagine a better site for an air base.
The entire list, by division, by was posted last night on FR but I didn't bookmark it.

I was stationed at Pease AFB back in the early 80s. I returned 10 years later to a ghost town. I was saddened to see it all chained up and the rest of the area as nothing more than a tourist trap. I hate to see the fine state of NH swing left but I guess it was inevitable seeing how many people were flocking up from Mass.
Per Florida Today (can't post link due to excerpt list) reporting Patrick AFB (FL) is safe but will lose 136 military and 59 civilian service jobs.
33 major to close and 100 smaller to close.
Senators and state officials are releasing this information that they were given at 9:15 a.m. EDT -- these are official. In fact Senator Inhofe made sure in his telephone press conference that the State of Oklahoma knew they were official. Congress/state governors received the information at 9:15 a.m. and the embargo was then off for the list and why you are seeing us post our State information.
where are you getting that?
No, it doesn't.
One is the US Army reserve at Westover, the other is the Air Force base at Westover.
Bad news for Tulsa -
I live down wind of the F-16 Air National Guard - and the are so NOISY
I guess to expect nopw more NOISE!

I wonder why they are closing so many? Are they trying to streamline everything?
the civilian service jobs would probably be taken care of via retirement.....
If Brunswick is going, I think Whidbey is bulletproof (for now).
Oh thank goodness, PKM!! That's great news!
I guess that my friends in the ARNG up on the Mingo Expressway are OK! (They're the Black Hawk unit that circles my house now and then.)
