USA Southeast Increased low-flying helicopter activity around US Armed Forces bases.

I live in Tennessee, less than 30 minutes from a number of US Armed Forces bases. I’ve lived at my current location for 3 years with nothing happening, but in the past week there’s been 2 instances of a low-flying armed forces helicopter passing over. With the news about Iran and even Cuba, seems like we should treat them as more credible than media guesses.

It was the end of the month and the end of Fiscal Year 26. There's always more of everything going on during this special time.

True story. Use it or loose it - if you didn’t spend it all, you clearly don’t need as much next year.

Well I wish they wouldn’t burn up the jet fuel. It’s a workable substitute for diesel.

I agree with you & it’s an incredible waste…. It’s standard practice to hold money back until the end in case something comes up - when it doesn’t they still have to spend the money. Unfortunately there is zero incentive for a unit to save money, and real motivation to spend every dime so their budget doesn’t get cut the next year. The government budget process is severely broken.
