My last base in Germany was turned back over to the Germans. I lived on Hahn AB and worked on Wueschheim Air Station as a Security Policeman. Wueschheim is now some kind of amusement park where outdoor concerts are held. I out processed on 20 December 1989 the day we invaded Panama.
While i can understand that military bases can become obsolete, i cant understand why perfectly good sound buildings cant be utilized for other purposes.
A hospital or a college campus are but 2 that enter my mind with little thought. But were talking government here, and waste at every level of it takes place.
No cost to them no value to them for those making the decisions.
I use to go TDY to Hahn AB, stayed in the town, found great place that had delicious spicy Pizza. I was also introduced to different type of sausage, some good others not, loved my stay each year.
I was at Loring AFB in northern Maine for 9 yrs. They dumped millions into that base then shut it down. There's a few businesses using some of it and they use the runway for a dragstrip and concerts. Your tax dollars at work,what a waste.
