They announced the planned closing and re-alignment of many bases today. It's been big news, at the top of CNN.com all day. I'm looking through it, and I see a lot of reserve center closings. Some, like the one in Forest Park, IL, make sense, as there's a duplication. But I wouldn't be suprised if there is a problem with reenlistments, because people will be upset they can't go to an easily accessable reserve center. Forest Park is in the Chicago area, and there's another one in Great Mistak-, err, Lakes. However, if one is closed down in some areas, there will be an issue in the next few years.
