We were on McChord for a bit this evening and I was surprised on how much the base has went to hell since it became joint-base with the Army at Fort Lewis. Dead grass knee high just about everywhere and dead and dying trees scattered all over. Its a shame. I spent 4 years (1978-82) @ Sembach Air Base in Germany and while I was there it was spotless. Belinda and I visited it in 2014 & 2015 after the Army had taken control and grass was growing wild, dumpsters overflowing and the wind blowing trash around. Looks like the same thing is happening to McChord since it has become a joint base with the army controlling it. Its disgraceful and who ever is allowing that needs disciplinary action. My friend Ronald was at our C-141 Reunion this weekend and said the same thing when he stopped at the base Saturday morning. I just had to see it for myself.

Guess it will take an accident and injury before the Army takes care of this.
