Depends on what part of the guard it is.. if it's a HQ building, you could have a bunch of full timers, if it's just a unit, you could have all of three or four full timers, with the units 300 - 400 personnell showing up one week-end a month.

And yes, the National Guard was offered space at Webster and will be moving there. They originally approached Pax River and may also have some space there near Gate 3. They will be constructing a hangar near the front gate of Webster.

The point is last year Steny was "I will make this happen", this year he's not. To me it means the deal is already done, just like its already done before he "saves" us.

I understand they are moving onto the abandoned taxiway.. right inside the front gate to Webster.

Correct. Where there is normally parking for the big unmanned demos.

The sewer pipe stays. Those storage boxes are movable.

Also, there’s the possibility that those who retain their jobs will be obliged to accept pay-cuts.

Strange. Usually they cut back civil service and replace them with contractors.
