I really want to believe that. It is very possible that a shitload of military got Friday and Monday off for 96 hour liberty.
But holidays in the military are conditional. Rare. Luck. Most of us will only get 1/2 or 1/3 Christmas days off. I spent 4 in a row underwater. It’s just the way it is. It’s not a job. It’s a lifestyle. You get used it.
They don’t lower security for holidays. Ever. If you have duty, you work. VD weekend doesn’t explain the sentry aircraft disappearing. The P8s are the clue. They are sentries. The surveillance cameras of the country. Every single day for longer than a year we have had P8s all over the fucking place. Particularly Florida and the east coast up to Chesapeake bay. All day. Most of the night.
I haven’t see any since Thursday night. Where the hell are they? We would never just leave the door wide open for days at a time. If a crew is on the duty rotation, they work. Rain, snow, Veterans Day, Christmas it doesn’t matter. Our enemies aren’t stupid. They see this too, and more. They are watching via satellite just like we watch them. Why would we all of a sudden pull all of our security guards? I struggle to believe that.
If everything returns to normal Tuesday morning and flight count shoots back up to 300 and we see P8s everywhere, that would be a sign that it was a huge 96 hour liberty for most of the military. Look for the return of P8 activity on eastern seaboard. That will be a clue.
During the day there has been movement and I know they are running without transponders because military flights have flown over my home and they did not have their transponders on. I do live near a base (not on top of one, but close enough to be in a flight path it seems) so I have been able to see some coming and goings with my own eyes. I have not seen any P8's since Friday when it seemed that a ton of them were flying into Jacksonville. I know there is usually more movement than this even on holidays. It is so abnormal that I think it has caught the attention of a lot of people.
VD weekend, just speculation because this is beyond my pay grade.
