Ft Dix/McGuire AFB shouldn't worry about closure; they have the largest refueling wing on the East Coast. They're a vital base for refueling our fighters that cross the Atlantic.
BRAC list is supposed to come out sometime today... I am anxious to see it. If Monmouth and/or Dix were to close, it would be a pretty serious impact on my life. I go to Dix/McGuire every other week to do my grocery shopping, and I'm at Monmouth at least once or twice a month for doctor appointments.
Steve, I agree and hope that... Lakehurst or Pickatinny would go prior to Monmouth. Monmouth is also huge for CECOM (I can't remember what it stands for)... but it's big lol.
Bottom line is, Dix and McGuire are crucial for the NJ tri-state area. I know military veterans from all states in the area (NY, CT, MA, PA, NJ, DE, MD) that use these two bases (Dix/McGuire for the Commissary, Monmouth for Medical) regularly.
All we can do is wait, and hope.
