Aaaaargh.
Picking nits here, in a really serious subject, but it's a pet peeve of mine:
ATTENTION ON DECK - especially to the asshat media
Be it known that the U.S. Army refers to its installations as posts. Exceptions do occur in foreign lands, but in the continental US, Army installations are posts.
U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Air Force refer to their installations as bases.
That is all.
