hurlburt field: Senators push bill to safeguard local bases - 03/29/09 10:29 PM

State Sen. Don Gaetz thinks there may be reason to worry about Florida's military bases, and says military spending could be reduced, leading to more base realignments and closures, even if the process is never called "BRAC." While he thinks it can happen within the next few months, I promise nothing regarding the military happens in months. Last week, Gaetz introduced a bill  which was co-sponsored by Sen. Durell Peaden, R-Crestview, the bill will establish a Florida Council on Military Base and Mission Support with nine unpaid members: three each appointed by the governor, president of the Senate and speaker … (0 comments)

hurlburt field: Know before you go... Destin's Club Overboard is off-limits for Military Personnel - 03/16/09 10:39 PM
A notice from Eglin Air Force Base officials says "all Armed Forces personnel" are forbidden from going inside Twisted Palms Grill & Bar and Club Overboard until further notice.  Now it's not very often that the military takes this type of action.  I've seen it when I was stationed overseas where businesses were "black-balled", and in a few racially charged areas in the United States.  And in case you don't know what that means, the short explanation is any armed forces personnel, whether in uniform or civilian clothing, who visits any of the businesses that are currently on the off-limits list … (2 comments)

hurlburt field: Should the Media Be Allowed to Photograph Fallen Heroes Returning to Dover AFB? - 02/27/09 12:28 AM
I think that President Obama made a wise decision to leave it up to the families.  Personally, as a 20 year USAF Veteran, I think it is a very somber and private moment in time forloved ones.  I used to be stationed at Dover AFB, Delaware.  It is the port of entry for remains returning from the European theater.  And having been a member of the Services Squadron and the Aerial Port Squadron, I understand what the media fails to, and that is the delicacy of the situation.  The people that take part treat every moment with the reverence and honor … (0 comments)
