BRAC 05
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.

Fixing the 'Frisco
They've released the first section of the report on the USS San Francisco's accident last winter. The CO gets the blame, because he violated procedures, going too fast and hit a seamount. However, none of the lower ranking personnel should get sacked.
Sixty Years Ago
Today is the sixtith anniversery of VE Day. It was a long campaign that would have made most people today shriek at the casualties, but it was worth it. I thank them. The Preisedent's actions in the Baltic states should be a reminder that we need to prevent tyrants from taking what they want. If there is one thing we must remember from this era, it is appesments of tyranny leads to war.
