Road Trip: Joint Base San Antonio, Texas

Joint Base San Antonio is the largest base organization in the Department of Defense, comprising three primary locations at JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, Lackland and Randolph, and more than 200 mission partners.

JBSA was established in accordance with congressional legislation implementing the recommendations of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The legislation ordered the consolidation of the three facilities which were adjoining, but separate military installations, into a single Joint Base, one of 12 formed in the United States as a result of the law.

Joint Base San Antonio supports a population of 80,000 and supports students at three installations annually of up to 138,000. Upon becoming the largest single DoD installation/enterprise, it has a total Plant Replacement Value of about 10.3 billion, leads a work force of over 8,000 personnel, manages an annual budget of 800 million, interfaces with 1,000 civic leaders of San Antonio, 20 smaller communities, four counties and four Congressional Districts, support more than 200 mission partners, supported and supporting units, and finally, support more than 250,000 other personnel including 425 retired general officers (2nd largest concentration in U.S.)

The primary mission at Fort Sam Houston is as a medical training and support post. The 502d Mission Support Group performs the installation support mission . The post is the home of Army North, Army South, Army 5th Recruiting Brigade, Brooke Army Medical Center, the Institute of Surgical Research, the Army Medical Department Center and School, the Army Medical Command and the 502d Air Base Wing.

Lackland Air Force Base is home to more than 120 Department of Defense and associate organizations, including the 37th Training Wing, the largest training wing in the U.S. Air Force. Lackland is the Air Force's only site for enlisted basic military training, and also offers professional and technical skills, and English language training for members of the U.S. Air Force, other military services, government agencies, and allies. Its four primary training functions graduate more than 86,000 students annually.

Randolph Air Force Base is home to more than 30 Department of Defense units including Headquarters Air Education and Training Command, Air Force Personnel Center, Air Force Recruiting Service, and the 12th Flying Training Wing.

My condolences and prayers go out on behalf of you and your family. Hand Salute to your Dad – may he rest in Eternal Peace and may Perpetual Light shine upon him.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank you so much, Mac...*HUGS*...he is finally at peace.

I found a paper that he typed up about his service, with some dates. I will post it when I can retype it.

Hope you had a good day....and not to many bad drivers to and fro.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, lauren, for our National Anthem. Singing along.....

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Lauren (Kathy!). Hope all is well.

[Jet Jaguar]

Hope you and yours are holding up well.

Had a good day, thanks! Aside from the ugly spreadsheets I had to deal with. The last one I worked on had 31 hidden worksheets and hundreds of comments. The comments have to be viewed individually - their content doesn't show up on the word search. You just can't ignore them - if you do you'll let out privileged communications - a sure ticket to getting canned in this biz.

I'm glad that your Dad and all of you are at peace. He had a long run and rendered faithful service to our Nation in a perilous theater of WWII - I'm sure he is at rest with the Choir of Angels and Holy Saints of God.



Six months later - where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of Obama and his minions on their Fate says more than any story they could put out!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!
