Is Rota ever going to close?

You know I don't speak Spanish!
Quick question. I want Rota real bad after T-44's. Does anyone know if people are still selecting Rota, and whether the base is ever really going to close? I've been hearing that it is for 2 years now, but no one knows for sure.

Thanks.

Well, not being a smartass, but you have to go to the FRS after T-44s...that's beside the point. Latest word is that all Rota EP-3 activity is moving to Whidbey. They'll have concrete info for you when you fill out your location dream sheet.

The base itself isn't scheduled to close for a while, as far as I have heard.

Expect the move to start this winter or spring, and it is a pretty sure thing unfortunately. I spent about a week total in Rota and I can say without reservation, it was truly one of the last, best deals in the Navy. It is awfully sad to see it go :( but it is good for the Navy and VQ. Still sucks though.
