Most BRACs are minor realignments that impact mostly MILPERS and they are easy to relocate. They happen all the time. For CIV/CTR, they may offer people the chance to transfer, but they usually end up needing to find at least a handful of new people. Sure, there's no reason why they couldn't BRAC a few pieces of Pax River, but that's far different than shutting most of it down (which was indicated when I responded). I offer sound logic as to why doing that wouldn't make sense, and point out other places where it makes more sense. Then DooDoo comes in, as usual, and assumes that everyone else is acting like a "tough guy" for asserting an opinion, and calls out other people for namecalling, but is the first one to actually sling names.
Cram it up your ass, DooDoo.
I made statements that I based on logic. All your argument claims is "you clearly know nothing about BRAC, they don't use logic." If that's the only argument then just move on. I'm sure there are plenty of good reasons that a minor Dahlgren BRAC would send things to Florida. You may not know what those reasons were, but I'm sure there was sound reasoning. You don't just uproot a bunch of civilians for no reason.
That being said, if there was a major BRAC at Pax that uprooted a few thousand civilians, if not the entire civilian population, it wouldn't make any sense. I'm not saying that what's done at Pax River CANNOT be duplicated anywhere. What I'm saying is that unless they combined USAF/USN capabilities onto a single base, there's nowhere else in the Navy that a bunch of the work at Pax is currently being done, so you'd need to move most of the people too, which would be difficult. You can't anticipate everyone will come (and if it's a long distance, even less), meaning it would require a great amount of new hiring and training, which is something that DoD simply can't afford right now. There'd also be no good reason to start splitting up the different facilities again...they shut most everything down and sent everyone to Pax in order to consolidate. It would make more sense to close up shop down here and move everyone elsewhere.
So I guess I'm asking for a sound reason why Pax would receive a significant BRAC. I provided other locations where it made sense to go as far as eliminate the base. I'm still not seeing a good reason for Pax, other than "Steny won't be here to defend it." That's part of the process, I'm sure, but that only goes so far. So other than "BRAC-ing is illogical" and "Steny can't save Pax forever," I'm asking for a reason why it would happen here. I'd be curious to know.
