Is there a date where they all charge at once or will it be a gradual roll out?

That's going to cost the services a small fortune that could be used elsewhere.

SECDEF's guidance was to start implementing the changes immediately following the mandated 90-day waiting period (which is over now). Additionally, he put a NLT of 1 JAN 24 as a deadline.

MAJ Ronnie Reams - Rgr - nothing would have taken place yet as there was a 90 day window for "comments and 'is there any reason we shouldn't do this legally'" .. that ended recently (SECDEF signed off on it back towards the end of September -- 90 days would put it at the end of December).

Aren’t the remnants of Fort Fisher now under the supervision of Seymour Johnson AFB?

COL Randall C. - Oh, I know it will take years to change everything there. Thought they would start using the new name. I remember when there was a new ACC CC, and he changed the shade of brown for the official color. Took contractor over 2 years and SJAFB is a medium size base. No name change involved, just new color for roofs, gutters, down spouts, signs, poles, etc. right down to the rectangles on curbs for naming a parking spot.
