Prepare for a dogfight over base closings.
This flyboy was TDY at Huachuca for training in 2000. A truly beautiful base that could be used to enforce border security. I know crazy talk...
Chicago-style payback under way. I imagine Arizona won’t have any bases left by the time Obama is done with Brewer.
They spent millions and millions consolidating intelligence training there and would have to spend billions to relocate to facilities that can host the security level training necessary.
Idiot Panetta and demonrats.
Dear hubby is MI, Ft “Hookachooka” is a second home to both of us. We have dear friends who are stationed there, in fact hubby is going tdy again out there in the near future. The area is really gorgeous. Dear daughter turned 6 there (hubby was tdy there for a few months between a pcs from Germany to Hood, so we tagged along). Her favorite thing was to run to her bedroom window and say good morning to “balloony” (a weather balloon, I think, that was on one of the mountains. We also adopted our beloved Bella Cat from the Sierra Vista animal control. One of the best cats I’ve ever shared my home with. :) After dear hubby was wounded in Iraq, and won his CoAD (continuation on active duty) we knew that our future would be at either the pentagon or ft Huachuca. The army set us to VA, but hubby has gone TDY to the hooka every year we’ve been here.
I might have to look into going to visit this trip, our son missed out on visiting tombstone, as he wasn’t born until we got to the Hood.
Have spent a bit of time at “up-chuck-a”. Actually a nice installation, and a nice TDY destination. Given they just established the CoE for USAIC, it seems like a waste to BRAC it.

McCain will receive it as a reward for backing Romneybama. And the sunfried brains of Arizona will vote for him again because McCain't looks good on paper by keeping the base(s) open. McCain't can continue to stab veterans in the back in every other meaningful way.
With this, maybe some of the contracting companies may start to donate to his campaigns again.
