Fort Devens is closed, I understand. Only reserves now.

Aside from Hanscom, the only other active bases in all New England is New London Submarine Base.

I was stationed at Cape Cod 40 years ago but even that base (Otis AFB) was officially closed and mostly reserves and the Coast Guard.

I flew into Otis on a x-country back in 1967. Upon opening our canopies, an airman greeted us with “Welcome to Cape Crud!”.

Ah, Fort Devens. Most of us ASA vets have fond memories of that place. Right smack dab in a wonderfully historic area. Close enough to Boston to take the “Freedom Trail” on weekend “field trips,” but far enough away to escape that city’s evil politics.
