OWS nuts did say they were going to recruit the military to their cause. I guess they got one. lol
A little sigh of relief
I’m thinking that we got Obama’s telepromter version for his announcement.
I can see it now “Ladies and gentlemen, we have received word from Schriever - pronounced SHREE’-ver - Air Force Base spokeswoman Jennifer Thibault - pronounced THEE’-balt - that...”
Yeah look at this link me thinks the MSM are exaggerating the location

No problem!

I hope his name isn’t Jack D. Ripper.
My guess is that his first name is “Mohammad”. This is why we will not hear much of this in State-run media.
Story appears to be from 9/16
There is. Been there.
Colonel, USAFR
It does appear to be from 9/16???

No.
I thought it was clear that was a joke, guess I needed to label it, sorry.
“...chicken...”..naughty, naughty...:))
I didn’t have a chance to research it, but I sort of remember reading that there are two back up sites. Just a guess, but they probably have significant remoting capabilities, just in case of the big one. Did find this:
Ground Stations
The GPS control segment consists of several ground stations located around the world.
•A master control station at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado
•Six unstaffed monitoring stations: Hawaii and Kwajalein in the Pacific Ocean; Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean; Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean; Cape Canaveral, Florida and Colorado Springs, Colorado
•Four large ground-antenna stations that send commands and data up to the satellites and collect telemetry back from them.
The monitor stations track the navigation signals and send their data back to the master control station. There, the controllers determine any adjustments or updates to the navigation signals needed to maintain precise navigation and update the satellites via the ground antennas. To further improve system accuracy, in 2005, the master control station added data from six monitor stations operated by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to the six GPS monitor stations.
