Yup they were on the BRAC list for many years. Base's being closed all over more now than ever. My Indiana Unit lost their F-16's but was retasked as an Intel Wing. My old Unit up here is being moved from it's current location to Elmendorf. Lots of changes.

Like the Russians and the Chineese won't be a problem in the future. Speaking of VP-26, the worst 3 years of sea duty in my career. And they had already decommisined the other 2 squadrons I was in VP-8 and VP-44. I am curious as what they are going to do with SERE School.

We don't need any of it anymore. Now that we're apologizing for our "sins" all over the world, everyone's gonna' love the USA and world peace is just around the corner.
I, for one, will sleep much better knowing that we don't have a single damn military airbase in all of New England. :sneaky2:
Why is it, that almost every generation of politicians forgets the lessons of the previous one?
Is it too political to say I REALLY miss this guy?

Joined Presque Isle and Loring. Gosh I'm getting old, can remember missile silos and all sorts of goodies in the Northern part of Maine. Now not even large potato farms. Shame.

Up outside of Bingham, Me there was a huge military site (for lack of a better term) that was rows and rows of satellite dishes. I was up in the area hunting a few weeks ago and they are all gone! I dont know what they were for but I guess we dont need them anymore...

I do believe that Ken has tried EVERY restaurant on the east coast.
and short tipped every waitress, been thrown out of every bar. Just sayin'......

:sneaky2: 20%, Twinkie Man. More if it's exceptional service. But I won't respond to the bar comment. :innocent:
He's under a Northeast bar bar.

Now ya see, Ken is pretty proud of passing the Bar many years ago. Me? Still working on it. I keep going in rather than passing them.
Fortunately, here in the Midwest we have MUCH classier places. Using the drive through sort of eliminates having to be thrown out of the place.
Careful......picking on Ken, gets people booted out of threads! :innocent:
Why THANK YOU, 2dumb! How kind of you to remind him! :)
Yeah, but I can boot myself back in.....just sayin.

This one's next on my list. I loved the old location - they moved about a year ago. I'm not sure if they have a drive through now......... :innocent:

Yeah...welll......I can't, so I'll just be over in the 2D2K vs. Ken thread, if anybody looks for me.:blushing:
Are you serious? Here's one of my favorites. Don't need no stinkin' tie. And...you can buy a carport on the way through.

That's not what the Navy called it.:sneaky2: I will, however refrain from using such language here (keeping it pg-13 and all). The ham - about halfway through a patrol was called rainbow ham.
Not on Submarines. Oh no. I've read Clancy.

I have lived in Maine for 35 years, and close enough to hear the planes do a high power turns at night, I'm really going to miss having the P-3's, C-130's flying around the area, because there was a good bit of pride having the base here, and people wanting to be assigned to Brunswick. I believe that after Jacksonville has a good hurricane, that the Navy will see the error of their ways. It took NGSB Shipbuilding three years to recover after Katrina, the Navy could have the same problems after a storm, with all of the planes being centered in one spot. I realize they fly the planes out, but the rest of the base will be a mess. Now we have a for rent sign on the 10,000 foot heated runway, any takers.

Hey don't knock the lobster, I miss going down to the docks and picking out my lobster and going home to boil them up. I actually miss deployments as well.

Sad situation, especially for folks who have been stationed there.
I was stationed at Hahn AB in Germany for a few years. Here is what it looked like while I was there (somewhat, many newer buildings in the videos that were not there when I was).

And what it looked like as of last year.
