BRAC votes today - 600 bases at stake...

Just a quick follow up to yesterday's post on the welders at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and its peril due to the base closings process. Today's the day the BRAC votes for final recommendations that'll be sent to the President. My guess? The initial bases will all be closed. That's been the history of base closings. It's a brutal thing, and all these guys deserve better, but we can't keep bases we don't need.

Keep an eye open, and think good things if you're at one of the affected facilities.
