I tend to think the later, to quote Sen John McCain “We cannot have continued increases in costs and benefits forever because of our inability to fund our national security,” This will be the man who will write the bill eliminating medical benefits for retirees, spouses and VA patients.
Last year they repaved the Commissary parking lot, that did not need repaving. Did it on senior shopping day Tue, when it could have been done on Mon when Commissary is closed. Made a lot of senoirs sick.
This year we got electronic price things, that were not needed just a money waster, we also got a few monumental works of art. Not necessary either.
We also got this $7 grand horror installed in 5 mph parking lots of Exchange and Commissary. Now why do we need super sized speed bumps in a 5 mph parking lot pray tell? When you cannot even park the wrong way with out getting a ticket from base police?
We are an inland base in TN, they closed the hospital a few years ago. Then they changed the duty of the base from training to BUPERS record keepers. We had 1 shared Admiral, now we have quite a few more, none of them necessary, they spend more time on the golf course than working.
Retire those with 30 yrs, move the younger ranks up the ladder.
