I work a few blocks from Onizuka Air Force Station. It is on the old NAS moffet grounds.



Lots of bases.


I wonder how this will effect the reserves?

From what I saw this was the recomendation. Now the political infighting will commence to see what actually gets shut down.

FWIW it looks as if most of this is cosmetic. The Guard and Reserves actually have a significant number of spots on that list. Shutting them down will not save much money but will significantly impact manpower numbers for support functions.

I believe Travis AFB is on the list too.   Ca. really shouldn't have any bases in most of the populated areas because of how high the cost of living is and the flaming liberal outlook of it's politicians..

Closing Ca. bases will do what?  lose Ca. for the republicans?

I was actually hoping for a minesweeper out of Ingleside, TX..guess thats out now..maybe could still go there, but would hate to have to do a homeport change a few years down the road(6 years to close a base)

Ingleside hasnt been around that long, maybe 15 years.  I remember when they first started building it and all the minesweeping assets were to be moved there.

Sad they spend so much money building a base then turn right around and close it.

Otis has been saved numerous times by Kennedy.  Its a rather redundant base.  I served there for 3 years.  The real problem there is the remarkable superfund site it would be if it was closed.  Lots of hazradous waste issues

Closing Portsmouth Naval Shipyard...yessh...and the Sub base in CT?  Those are going to be immense fights.

I WAS going to do an IDTT there in July.  Was really looking forward to it but my foot situation has me on TNPQ status.  Plus, I just re-read The Caine Mutiny.
