troposcuba Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Gee wiz, too bad my wife is being sent to Texas! I would love to do that! They must have had some terrible turnover huh?. howdy ya'll... turnover huh? I was part of the active duty component there (43rd MXS) that pretty much shut down and became active reserve (440th). I can tell ya that last year during the transition (I left about 2 months before it was complete) was pretty rough. from what i understand, the Reserve slots were not as easy to fill as they had planned for. I loved my time there, but glad to leave when i did! my friends that are still there are none too glad to finally be getting orders somewhere else.

RZHill Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Yeh the BRAC Commitee thinks you can just pull up a Reserve wing and move it like a Active wing. Tain't so. too many partimers had good "real Jobs" and wouldn't make the move. Typical of the politicans in DC. RZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well said RZ. Guard and Reserve roots go real deep. The gov gets a lotta bang for the buck with this team... more, if they would just quit playing chess with the bases and planes. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
