BRACs 88 and 91 started the process.
Base closings, right? I think 88 was the year they closed Bergstrom in Austin.
Just a general comment but I have seen many families ripped apart by the strains of deployment. From a family point of view we should be concerned about the sheer number of broken homes being created.
I would push for more overlap and shortened deployments because husbands, wives and kids are every bit a part of the military just like the deployed soldier, sailor, or marine.
If they break under the strain so does the deployed soldier.
