Well.... A live fire range requires a significant amount of support. The operation and maintenenace of the range requires a whole host of support facilities which include billeting, chow halls, etc for range operators, spotters, and all the associated support personnel. Many of the day to day jobs (ie cleaning, maintenance, food service) are all contracted out to the civilian population. The DoD has many ranges that are solely dedicated to live fire training including Arizona and Nevada. Certainly those ranges have other associated facilities, but they are primarily in support of range operations. It's entirely feasible to have a facility whose sole purpose is range training. |

I have no idea what functions the base completed, but I bet when they worked out their annual budget they never wrote "All we're about is live fire excercises. Everything else is just Pentagon waste, but thanks. " |

| El Blanco | Why else was the base there? It has no strategic value. Its the Navy, not a fucking charity. | |

| Jeanette X | I think that they just wanted the Navy to stop the live-fire excercises, not leave entirely. I don't think that not being able to do live-fire excercises is a good reason to shut down an ENTIRE base, do you? | |

| El Blanco | A whole lot of complaining from a bunch of people who enjoy the rights of americans but pay no federal income tax. | |

Complain about naval base. They leave. Oops jobs go with it! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,93029,00.html Quote:
Just STFU, please. People around the world jump on the piss and moan about the US bandwagon, then when we do finally leave they realize that the jobs leave with it and then proceed to bitch some more. |
