This is not authentic IMHO because the list of bases on the closure and realignment list are the most closely guarded in DoD. For this to come out before Congress is told would set off a firestorm that wouldn't quit.
That's why I believe this is from a DemocRAT stirring up trouble. Some bases I could see would be on the list -- others are not that should be and from what I can tell pilot training would come to almost a halt for the Air Force with this list.
I think this list is actually pretty close to the mark. I can't think of a base or installation that's already been closed that didn't have its own ardent supporters and dozens of reasons to keep it open. Still, the bases were closed. There really aren't that many bases left. Any list that really attempts to save major dollars for DoD will have some shockers on it. In other words, it's got to hurt to be effective. Shoot, I'm a retiree and I hate to see any Alabama bases close, but I expect it, nevertheless.
I believe they made LAFS an AFB a couple of years ago.
