If anybody wants to learn a lesson about what happens to a Nation that can no longer flex its expeditionary capability to motivate policy, just look at England.

War on Two Fronts? No when could that possibly happen......

Ironic, especially when the last time this was floated up they proved their worth in spades mere months later. For those who were unaware or forgot, there was a lot of noise at the beginning of the last administration that they would do the same cuts as part of Rumsfeld's 'transformation' of the DoD.

I am not sure Congress would take it lying down, it would be a really hard sell to cut CVN's and all of the jobs that go along with them. Especially with the big bad Red Dragon rising.

Thought there might be something up when I checked in and my shop was asked if we are a "brown water navy"...

Indeed... Hollow force... Jimmy Carter... Kinder, Gentler, more cross culturally concious...

Where did you think the trillions of dollars dumped into absurd tax cuts and Iraq were coming from? Did you really think we could have our cake and eat it, too? It's time to pay the piper, gentlemen

I can't seem to figure out how this is going to impact our primary goal. You know...diversity.

Well, we also saving money on PCS moves. The JFTR (Joint Federal Travel Regs) just cut reimbursable mileage from 24 cents per mile to 16.

I thought it was energy efficiency? Ships get great mileage plugged into shore power at the pier...

I think that cut was to pay for the TVs at KSUU's base ops: Plasma screens showing current NOTAMs and weather advisories = effective stewardship of taxpayer dollars

Has anyone argued that it didn't really happen (at least as well as it should have) this time around?

 

[jollygreen07]

Can't say i'm all that surprised. It was just a matter of time. What was the Government gonna do, print more money?

Oh wait.

Standby?!?! You mean the attack of the bean counters is going to become WORSE!?!? Well, more squadrons going cold iron means more time to work on GMT via NKO and update our monthly Diversity goals...

How do they justify cutting the mileage rate?

Gas isn't cheaper. Tires have not gotten cheaper. Did tolls go down? Nope.
