I was watching the re-naming ceremony for Ft. Benning. It is being renamed Ft. Benning but NOT after the same man named “Benning” as before. Sounds complicated?
Neither Fort Bliss or Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson were involved in using Basic Allowance for Subsistence, (BAS), money meant for soldiers meals on other things. Other bases around the country were allegedly sending over half of all the money collected from United States soldiers paychecks elsewhere.
On a military base like Fort Bliss, security is always a priority but El Paso is pretty much always welcome to visit the base almost any time at all, special event or just 'cuz.
El Paso is home to one of the most celebrated science fiction legends of all time, heres why you should be celebrating 'Live Long and Prosper' Day. Especially if youre a Trekkie from the borderland.
This summer, Fort Bliss and El Paso are inviting all Borderland residents .. military and civilian alike ... to dance, party and mingle just in time for Armed Forces Day.
