I wonder what condition the building is in. If it is in horrible shape (it is a bit older), it would make absolutely no sense to rebuild it, considering the cost of the land, labor and everything else that goes into remodeling and rebuilding a major hospital, especially in the DC area....
I don't have the link handy, there are moving it / merging it with another "name" mil hospital.
At least that is what the military thinks thinks it needs to do.
Of course, every politician thinks otherwise.
LVM
yeah...
they seem to be moving quite a bit of medical stuff to Wright Patterson AFB, which is where I work. They have a huge hospital and I think they could merge it with what Walter Reed pulls in....
"Center of Excellence"? You just know that some Colonel somewhere came up with this crappy name to make his first star.
I'm a GD ee too. ATP.
Wright Patterson is more than just the museum...there is quite a bit of stuff there actually....
I work for GD-NS......I work on computers and stuff like that....
here, check it out...

there is more there than their welcome page says, but this is just the UNCLASS version....
This is what the Air Force Surgeon General said today. I don't think this article reflects what he said at all.
then I wonder why they are closing it?
That would be more like a realignment to me personally....
Having both BAMC and Wilford Hall in the same city was not cost effective and Wilhall is not in very good shape.
Looks like they are moving some things back from Brooks that went to Brooks from Wright-Patt at the same time our family got orders for Kelly AFB. I think consolidating all medical research with the labs at Area B is a great idea. Never could figure out why they were at Brooks and not Wright-Patt.
having just been here at Wright Pat for nearly 5 months now, I am surprised they arent using it more. I guess that is what this is...
when I had my elbow surgery, I had to do a 3 month physical for a year afterwards, and that was always at Wright Pat. Too bad the elbow never quite recovered correctly....
Right now I would not trust a fu(*^g thing that the President and Don Rumsfeld come up with. As conservatives we set back and take anything these two come up with. Seldom is a word of criticism voiced by conservatives about the decisions that either one of these men makes.
It's time to do some critical thinking about the current administration and all of its decisions. The President clearly isn't given to putting the welfare of working Americans on his agenda. His wrong headed push for CAFTA is only going to benefit multi-national corporations who feel no sense of guilt when dealing in nations where child labor is rampant and slave wages are the norm. In fact our current trade policies encourage slavery.
It is a sorry time in our nation's history to be a conservative. If not for the war on terror the President's administration would be worse than Clinton's.
Pardon my rant.
ummmmm what does your rant have to do with the BRAC?
time's up...thats right
NOTHING!!!
In my job, I deal with Edwards and Hill AFB the most with F/A-22.
BTW - thank you for your service. :)
It is a sorry time in our nation's history to be a conservative.
Conservative? The above rant is straight out of anarchist/communist propaganda.
nice....I am wondering what the GD guys up at Groton are going to do now but it will figure itself out....
ohh sorry :)
yeah I work for GD Network Systems :)
no big deal. Going to Iraq gave me a ton of experience and got me in with GD, which is a great company to work for from what I can tell...
Well, we shouldn't think it's a bad thing against GD. Think about it. We need that base in CT. It's all speculation, but it may mean good things for GD Corp.
yeah...
they added 75 contractor positions at Wright Patterson. I know for a fact we will be in the running for them. But I dont worry about that stuff too much....
I used to work for CACI, and after being with GD, I wouldnt go back for any reason...
I am from that area about 25 miles north of Dayton and worked 13 years at Wright-Patt -- four of those in the Command Surgeon's office.
My boss at that time submitted a suggestion to the AF Surgeon General about consolidation and use of the Regional Medical Centers more but looks like it took all this time to do what he suggested years ago. He felt Wright-Patterson with AFIT and the Labs should be the consolidation for Medicine for the AF and other services for training and research. He always thought the Medical Services from each branch should be working side by side.
