It's all over.

All the tanks and trucks and HMMWV's and Bradleys are gone.
All the small arms, machine guns, commo equipment, tools, and spare parts are gone.
All classes have ended, the barracks that used to house up to 5000 soldiers at any time are all empty.
There's no soldiers marching, and no vehicles moving.....it's just quiet now.

I drove thru a motorpool that used to have hundreds of combat vehicles in it.
The lot they parked in is bigger than 20 football fields. Everything was gone, it was empty, still, and quiet.

In 1989-1990, I was part of the task force that operated the inactivation of the 194th Armored Brigade, a full heavy combat brigade that inactivated at Fort Knox. In 2007, that desiganation of the 194th Armored Brigade, was given to a training brigade at Fort Knox. Now in 2011, I've been part of the operations group that moved it off post again, some 21 years later.

Amazing how things cycle. Oh well, if it comes it goes, and if it goes it comes, just to go away again I guess. On with the future. Goodbye tankers. It's going to be just to quiet around here with you all gone.
