Actually Coota0:

With the current modernization/realignment of all branches of the US Military and the general mandate of planning today for what's comming 5 or 10 years later, there's no telling what changes are going to be made.

The only thing certain is that everyone in every branch with a "star" on his/her shoulder and everyone in any even vaguely applicable "oversite committee" is gonna be running their mouths non stop on what must be done..and most of that jabber will be rather silly.

I think we're all in a waite and see mode for a while.

Btw, Branch commands and staff have input in the procurment process but they dont have the final say on ...well..much of anything actually. The folk that write the contracts and cut the checks have the actual final say.
