| According to a survey compiled by Navy Federal Credit Union--The Pensacola community ranks far down the list-#45 actually-of places where retiring military members want to go upon completion of their military service. |
As I read this morning's paper, a very non-descript blurb in the Business section caught my attention. It was about transitioning military members, and where they choose to retire after they complete their military service--- according to statistics compiled and surveys conducted by Navy Federal Credit Union. According to the article, nearly 250,000 military members and their families transition out of active service each year. The article mentioned that Pensacola did not rank in the top 10 for such retirement/transition locations. Pensacola ranked #45--according to the PNJ article. #45....
So I followed the link provided because I was naturally curious, and wanted to see the full list.
The link only gives the top ten, there is no "full-list" at this landing page or anywhere else.
So that's frustrating.
Nevertheless--there must be a list somewhere, and PNJ reports Fort Walton Beach ranks #18 and Pensacola ranks #45. Forty-Five?!?
This, to me, is an astonishing stat. How in the world could Pensacola--the location where NFCU has invested more than a Billion dollars in standing up a massive headquarters for 10,000 employees-- be ranked so low down on this list?
With our Naval facilities, hospitals, temperate climate, excellent beaches, LOW cost of housing and LOW cost of living---how in the world could Pensacola be ranked lower by retiring service members than a place like Duluth, Minnesota? I mean--nothing against Minnesota---but is Duluth really a better location for retirement after service than is the Pensacola area?
I've been to every city on NFCU's "Top 10 List" --except for Duluth, MN and Norwich, CT--and lived in four of them. Charleston SC, ranked #1 was a place I spent two years when my dad was stationed there from 1982-1984. I was born in San Diego and have lived there for a total of 23 years of my 52 on this planet. Let's face facts: each city on the NFCU top ten list has positive attributes, no doubt. Take places like Fort Myers Florida and San Diego California. Both beautiful places with excellent weather year-round and beautiful beaches. But the cost of living!! Try to survive in San Diego on an E-6 or E-7 pension. Try to find "affordable" housing--forget about a house--- in San Diego. Good luck--I know from experience having owned property there. It takes a significant income, significant, to own a home in a desirable community in San Diego County. It's a beautiful place---that's why it's so expensive to live there. And again---so are the others on the list. (I'm sure even Duluth and Norwich are....)
But Pensacola has some of the most affordable housing (even though the costs have risen) and hands down some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We've got military bases and facilities all around and a thriving, large community of military retirees here. We've got the Blue Angels!
So how did Pensacola rank 45th? What the Heck??
Attention Chamber of Commerce, attention City Council, attention Mayor--and yes--attention County Commissioners----
This preference survey of former military--if it is truly accurate-- should be a BIG concern to all of us in leadership locally.
The panhandle of Florida ain't exactly the most happening place--even for retirees.
ReplyDeleteMiss the Mark Marlette on the PNJ and Northescambia (blog via comments) work overtime to ruin the perception of local and national government. I guess they think they seem cool and informed.
ReplyDeletePeople vote with their feet.
For now just hope more people from big cities DONT migrate here and bring their idiotic leftist views. More retirees would help dilute that
Plus who wants to move where people shoot each other in the streets on a daily basis, with identity politics and race hustlers that running rampant.
It's "demographics" -- That's why more are settling around Santa Rosa. Growth is overrated though. The less people, the better.
The headline and the pic of 45 is subtle.
ReplyDeleteDon't you think even one vote cast illegally, disenfranchises just one cast legally?
That is what should be the concern. Our republic rests on the assurance free and fair election.
That should be our concern.
Grow a spine and blog about that...
The picture and headline suggested you were going to talk about something important. I'll go with it anyway...
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on in Iran/Israel is directly related to the faux USA election and resurrecting the policies of the past administration. "Some" retirees know that. Obama hates America and wants it to go down. Burn it to the ground.
War dog Mattis has nothing on Trump foreign policy.
I have never seen such a collection of ignorant people than the ones here in this county. But then again I wasn't on social media. What an eye opener. People are generally stupid.
Soros was behind the EU and Brexit was a direct result of those failed policies. His money is influencing USA policies.
FU EU

So yes now the Navy is back on alert and because of this "Office" of President elect.
So it does affect retirees and their families and active duty service people.
I hope the SCOTUS upholds the constitution and takes these traitors out of this country.
They are even releasing prisoners from Gitmo. People are blind.
better late than never.

ReplyDeleteJeff, do you think there is the possibility there could have been an illegal vote cast in the election of 2020 and what do you think about people questioning the integrity of the election. Should they all be dismissed as delusional or perhaps should bipartisan efforts go into investigating claims? I think the ones trying to disregard claims of fraud may be the nut jobs or they are part of the takedown of the republic of the USA.

ReplyDelete"What is the civil litigation process of 2020 election suits?"
Commissioner Bergosh, do you know the scene in Top Gun where Kelly McGillis and Tom Cruise are in the elevator together, and she looks super cute in that baseball cap? With her sleeves all rolled up carrying a clip board. Its my favorite scene accept the one where she does the UTurn in her Porsch to get Tom Cruise to court on time.
ReplyDeleteDo you know why she was wearing that cap Jeff? Because she was already filming another movie and they had colored her hair a different color, but the Top Gun directors' needed a bridge scene so they had her come back but they were all like "what are we gonna do your hair won't match" and somebody was like "here you go how about this baseball cap."
Commissioner Bergosh what is your opinion of this, and don't you think that we should be sending lists of the Soros implants who have moved to Pensacola to the Department of Justice?

If you are considering an alliance with one who condones cheating to accomplish a political goal, you've already lost in the long run.
ReplyDeleteMust be hard to keep up..esp sniffing around Underhill obsessively. not a good look.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous 11:22 PM,
ReplyDeleteI'm giving serious thought to running against Doug for D2 commissioner. If you think you've seen obsessive now, you haven't seen me on a campaign trail against him yet. One person's obsession is another one's focus.
Speaking of manias, now that more republicans are coming out every day demanding that Trump, his remaining administration, his "team" of attorneys, and GOP leadership stop the charade that they ever had the slightest bit of evidence on widespread voter fraud, I would imagine that is such a blessing for his most zealous supporters, who can at long last breathe a sigh of relief and get back to worrying about whether there's any gold in Fort Knox.

ReplyDeleteUnder the 12 amendment to the constitution Trump will be voted as President for his second term.
ReplyDeleteGilley has a HCP after her because she turned the text over to Maygarden about the Medical director's sex life. It's on the case.
Most everyone knows that and a run for D2 is about as likely as Chase making the Clerk of Court cut. (which didn't happen)
although it may not be what one wants to hear, certainly there is hope one would appreciate when some points out they have a huge booger hanging out of their nose, or even a piece of a turnip green on their front tooth, smiling and wondering why everyone smiles back....and doesn't actually tell them the truth
ReplyDeleteperhaps they don't even get what "tar baby" means, if they don't understand the culture...

ReplyDelete"And so I ask you, when the Department of Justice says, “We see no evidence of systemic fraud,” isn’t that kind of irrelevant? What we see here is fraud perpetrated against the people of Pennsylvania, against the American people, and the Electoral College process by politicians who violated the constitution repeatedly, who violated the rule of law by a rogue state supreme court, and unless the US Supreme Court, as it did in Bush v. Gore, exercises legitimately its power of judicial review, we have a potential constitutional crisis in this matter, and one way or another, Congress will have to resolve it on January 6th.
But the US Supreme Court shouldn’t just sit there and take a pass. When in fact, it is time for the US Supreme Court to intercede, which is exactly what the petitioners are asking it to do."

ReplyDelete"Our Country stands at an important crossroads. Either the Constitution matters and must be followed, even when some officials consider it inconvenient or out of date, or it is simply a piece of parchment on display at the National Archives. We ask the Court to choose the former.Lawful elections are at the heart of our constitutional democracy. The public, and indeed the candidates themselves, have a compelling interest in ensuring that the selection of a President—any President—is legitimate. If that trust is lost, the American Experiment will founder. A dark cloud hangs over the 2020 Presidential election."

ReplyDeleteThe SCOTUS only denied emergency injunctive relief. In the order, it did NOT deny cert. in the PA case today. It's being reported incorrectly. The Texas vs lawless states is on the docket and LA joined. I hope FL joins with the other states who are disenfranchised from the illegal maneuvers from the other states. Contact Moody and urge her to uphold the constitution.

ReplyDeleteI trust you are watching the constitutional challenges to the election. I am not confident many are: "Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota" --
ReplyDeleteSO far have come on board also. I read expect ten states.
Interesting times to uphold the constitutional republic of the USA.
even Fox news is slow to report.
