All-Like everything else 'Changes happen' & I don't mean the 'Current Use of Political Change"? I think back to Puerto Rico, the bases we had there? :DThe local governments wanted us out & the land will make good 'Tourists location's & attractions ,that what they said? OK, you want Vieques & Culebra,as well as NOB, Roosevelt Roads & other supporting activities? 8-)We will pull out & shut them down! What you are loosing XXX millions of dollars & no bases in which your military retirees can get services? :-*Not true,we will leave you some small offices in San Juan! :-XNo,you didn't think that would ever happen? >:(Well folks, I for one hate to see all those bases go;especially the Naval Air Station,there at Roosevelt Roads,where we 'Marines' forward deployed with our 'Aircraft'? That base gave us time to get our pilots & aircraft ready for going aboard a 'Carrier' for operational duty! ;DGuess what the PR Tourist Bureau,now calls the two islands between PR & St.Thomas,USVI? Ever hear of the 'Spanish Virgin Islands'---Sounds good for selling 'Vacation Packages'? :PCHANGE-ugh?-Semper Fi-RichW/49

All Members & Guests, As I often do, I dive off the pier & go off on a 'Rant'? 8-)Yesterday,it was Puerto Rico & their Nearby Islands,which we the United States of America/Dept. of Defense/Dept.of the Navy gave up? ::)The Question is where do we fly from now? Takes time to get there from Git mo ,Key West or Jax;maybe the 'Corps'would get thrown in the equation/ Hence Beaufort or Cherry Point depending on what happens down there in the'Caribbean & what threats are perceived? :PYes,there is a joint organization called U.S.Southern Command,with its HQ located in Miami,FL. The individual forces are scattered at different bases?Semper Fi-TheCrazy Old Man-RichW/49 ;D

All-Today I heard that our 'UN' appointed, Father Someone, a Sandinista from Nicaragua as head of ? General assembly? or the 'Security Council'? He sure will favor us,huh Also,they want some more $ to redo & improve the Complex & buildings? Time to give them an 'Eviction Notice'? :(Where they go is their business, & we are going to cut back are 'Overall Funding to them? ;DThey have to be out in Six to Nine months from the date of the notice! ::)We condemn that organization & its facilities-Knock the Buildings down! :DSemper Fi-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49

Swanny- hard to tell if those 'fires'were started or did nature do it? As you know ,if you get winds-you will get 'fires'? Unfortinuately,Winds bring out the 'Arsonists' ,who start fires & destroy a lot of property? :DRight now,Air assets can not fly at night-they don't have ;Night Vision Goggles like the Military does?? 8-)Sometime, in the future there will be across over?? :-*I believe if used with the 'Water Dropping Helicopters',it would be beneficial in helping to keep fires from exploding & growing in size? :oSemper Fi-The Crazy Old Man-RichW/49 ;D
