Interesting question, bpow! But sorry! At least at the moment your question should be better placed to on of our current top topics: <a href="http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-6706.html">Post-BRAC 2005 F-16 line-up</a>, launched by my old friend and F-16.net "hard-worker" Henrik in November, 2006. He did and still does a great job to document at least all BRAC 2005 changes known to the public, supported by eyewitness accounts, some more first-hand info and other help. And I´m sure, if USAF will launch any future BRAC round, Henrik will launch a related new topic.

Are there any USAF or DoD insiders who visit our website and can/will announce any next BRAC round? Rolling Eyes I´m nearly sure: NO!

Thanks for Your kind words my old friend J.J.!!

Bpow - regarding a future BRAC there will definately be some, but for now at least not until 2011 where the current one from 2005 runs to.

Greetings,

Henrik.

Just let Obama or Billary get in office and see how long it takes to start another BRAC...

Not likely to happen with a Dem in charge. Their platform is our military is too stretched now, not we are fat and happy. Remember it was Rummy who cut us to nothing in 2005.

You're right. First they'll "unstretch" the military by bringing all the troops home early. Then they'll cut us down to nothing.

Mass exodus after the first Gulf War, it was called VSI/SSB, better known as the pink slip era. Lot of guys left for better paying jobs, got tired of the military, or had enough all together. Me, I stayed. I think we should do one more BRAC once and for all, no more active duty, bring all the troops home, everybody go reserves or guard, kinda like Israel... lol!
