Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Correct but the shipment to the maint, back, and then to the collection area is all SDT funding.Lots of speculation and not a lot of top level guidance at the moment. At least in the DoN, "Transportation" and "Travel" are different things, funding wise and should not be confused. Moving surplus vehicles to a collection/deaccessing site seems a justifiable end-of-lifecycle O&M cost to me that would come out of program funding, not unit funding (at least that's how it *usually* works with aircraft).
And DLA can't just levy a requirement on GL to pick up the burden/cost of relocating deacessed (many of them "dead") assets. If there's no option or provision in the contract DLA has with GL (which is highly doubtful), It would require, at the least, a mod to their contract that could get expensive (to the Government) as well.
Just my $.02
If I had to guess, I'd say because due to the normal inflation of an economy, the amount of people that $100 "bought" in terms of people/labor hours last year will only buy 8 or 9 this year.I still don't understand the furloughs. The sequester doesn't cut "existing" budgets, but rather cuts the "increase" for this year. So why would anyone be laid off, if they are still getting the same money as last year??
