They need to move that base out of there - its too vulnerable to everything form Hurricanes to sea level changes - they need to move that whole command - to someplace like Tinker in OKC.
 Quoting: Starbird


Too much money has been invested in the base to just up & move it.

That means nothing to them brother - trust me I know this personally. You should have seen the facilities we built over seas they just abandoned over night. They need to move the organizations to a more stable place environmentally for the LONG haul. A place they can get under ground if they have to.

LOL, no seriously - they need to centralize it for the long haul and get it on a big facility like Tinker.

simple mistake anyone could make.

The MP asked for the guys DL and it said his name was SAM.

MP told the dispatch that there was a SAM in the car.

Dispatch freaked out

SAM = Surface Air Missile.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1712129


I thought the driver's name was Jack...

The Guard then told the driver Hi Jack!!!

The dispatcher heard it and the place went downhill ever since...

I don't blame em, but they have the best chicken fried steak in OKC - and the people are pretty nice there. :-)

San Angelo Tx aint bad either and a lot of em probably trained there for a while. The point I am making is they need to be in a more weather stable location. Sometimes those aren't so scenic though! :-)

Dale Mabry gate opened per MacDill AFB tweet 10 mins ago.

All clear.

"UPDATE ON GATE CLOSURE

A routine traffic stop today resulted in a security concern causing the closure of Dale Mabry Gate. Security forces responded according to standard protocol and concern has since been cleared. We can confirm there is no threat to the installation."

They don't get affected as much as you'd think. Irma was a fluke- perhaps we're heading into a new cycle & that won't hold out, but for now an outlier. As for sea level rise- they should have a while.

Bayshore/South Tampa flooding & the commute issues with that is a much bigger pain in the butt.
