The Army has more boats than the Navy and more aircraft than the AF. They need to consolidate forces more, such as helicopter pilot training, why do we have several services with several expensive training facilities? Why not send all helicopter pilots to the same place for initial training like Fort Rucker, resulting in an instant billion dollar savings. The AF already does that but the Navy, MC and CG could also. Specialty skills or airframes could be completed in-house at their home bases and therefore save additional TDY funds if required. That's just one example if you multiply that by all career fields think of the possibilities by not having so much duplication of effort, resources, real estate, personnel etc.. Sadly many of the elected officials would be against that idea solely because it would take some funds out of their state due to consolidation savings but if you want to fix the money issues they just need to be managed a little more responsibly.
