The Military Times reports that our favorite PC project, renaming those bases originally named for nasty Southerners, is in process – we have read before what the new names will be (can’t argue with naming bases or ships after most of them – better than names like Murtha or Harvey Milk, right?)\u00a0 Ft. Hood is coming up on the list, which will sure be a relief to this adopted Texan – sure happy that all those command and morale problems are going to disappear\u00a0 with the old name, right? Everything about Ft. Cavazos will be new and wonderful, I am sure.<\/p>\n

But changing that stationery letterhead gets pricey. Remember when they said it would cost $22,000,000? Ah, those good old days when things were cheap…<\/p>\n

The Army expects to pay $39 million, said Lt. Gen. Kevin Vereen, Army deputy chief of staff for installations. In 2022, the congressionally-mandated Naming Commission<\/a> estimated it would cost $21 million to rename the nine Army installations.<\/p>\n

The Defense Department initially gave the Army $1 million to change the names, but \u201cthat\u2019s not anywhere close to what we need,\u201d Vereen told members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ain’t that funding in a nutshell – Congress thinks it will cost $22 million, the Army has barely started and says it needs $39 million, and DoD funds it to the tune of one million.<\/p>\n

Remember this lady? She and her husband set a record recently as the first O-6 married couple to both be investigated. Well, they’ve stretched their lead: both have been relieved, or “fired” in layman’s terms.\u00a0 The Army, per normal, cited ‘loss of confidence’ in their ability to lead. Per the Army the investigations were unrelated. Military Times II<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of the post renaming, the Army has released its schedule.<\/p>\n

Ft. Picket is first up, renamed Ft. Barfoot Friday last<\/p>\n

Ft. Lee will become Ft. Gregg-Adams on April 27<\/p>\n

Ft. Hood becomes Ft. Cavazos on May 9<\/p>\n

Ft. Benning becomes Ft. Moore on May 11<\/p>\n

Ft. Bragg will be Ft. Liberty on June 2.<\/p>\n

Ft. Gordon, Ft. A.P. Hill, and\u00a0 Ft. Polk’s dates are TBD<\/p>\n
