re: #388 oaktree
Aren’t they currently consolidating and moving a lot of those? (The museums at least.) Ft Knox is losing/has lost the Armor museum to Ft Benning, though there a a Patton Leadership Museum or something like that remaining. And I saw something about how the Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen is closed with displays and such from there headed for Ft Lee.
I guess I’m sort of lucky in having visited both of those in the past few years before they shifted farther away from my travel routes.
(Website Flog - My photobucket pages attached to my nick include photos from both sites.)
I could be out of date. The last Base Re-Alignment and Closings cycle has caused a lot of confusion—that might translate into more work. (Much of the museum money is raised from individuals/organizations, rather than mil budget lines. Some of the museums are actually used for scientific research, like the ARDEC munitions collection.)
