And EC-37 transition happening now, ensure basing for foreseeable future. The ECG buildings were all constructed in like the last decade. I don't see them picking up anytime soon.

One of around seven or eight ECG buildings was constructed in the last decade.

Well, you might be right, I am getting old. They were brand new when I got there 10 years ago. So I guess they'd just be over 10 years now. Either way, in terms of building life, that is not old.

Turns out you can’t just put AGR-20’s in a big bunker with all the Gunship stuff.

Curious about this statement since "gunship stuff" now includes -114s and others; is AGR storage incompatible with AGMs?

What are the chances DM gets -35s long term?   Since, you know, the -35 is replacing the Hawg 😑

I’m not sure of the specs but I think so. I know the existing weapons storage at the bases didn’t meet the AOW requirements. It surprised me at HRT but really did at CVS since that was a F-16 base and they had a really diverse catalog of weapons. I assumed they would be good but I guess not.

Fantastic and accurate cover photo there. 😑This announcement is pretty hilarious since the last edition of the ACJ talked about how DM was a terrible fit for AFSOC and that the city absolutely didn’t want SOF there. 😂
