Your first post is "when is the final move?"

So you must be a rude Buddha with piss-poor grammatical skills.

Would you appreciate another chance to get right Buddha? Will you endeavor to improve Buddha?

Here is a koan for you: What is the sound of one finger pressing the ban button?

Move to Eglin

There has been some recent news on the move to Eglin.

Looks like the Environmental Protection Agency is involved with the land we are looking at moving in on. It is not a stopper but they move slow.

Movement to Eglin for the 7th Special Forces Group should take place around 2010. Summertime if we're lucky.

It will be to the Duke Field complex which is near the town of Crestview. They are geared up for it and real estate prices are already climbing from what I hear.

There is a Hooter's bar.

Just wondering out loud...will 20thSFG be able to benefit from the new facilities in the Florida area and vice versa? I mean with reference to joint training, ranges, and what not... I'm thinking having an active duty group in the AO would be a force multiplier in and of itself! If this can't really be discussed for some reason, just ignore me and I will just continue wondering

Ah my young naive friend. The NG is all about state politics and personal rice bowls. Plus, to the AD guys we are all "just Guard guys." Red headed step children are treated better.

Are we having a sensative day today?

When it is at the Company and Team level it is all about personalities.

It could be a good in and some but heads could burn the bridges......
The whole time I was on AD we always worked with the Reserve and NG teams where we were training and helped each other out but I also was dumped on a few times by the Guard due to State Politics..... It will all depend on how the first contact goes......and who makes it.

Shoot, had some SF Guard guys down in my AO and they hardly ever said Hi.....

Just my 2 cents.....
