QUESTION. Does CCAJN advocate closing Oceana?

ANSWER. Citizens Concerned About Jet Noise (CCAJN) has not advocated, nor does it now advocate, closing Oceana. The only REAL THREAT to the long-term viability of Oceana would be a failure on the part of the Navy - and public officials - to identify and implement meaningful solutions to problems of jet noise and accident risk, problems NOW readily acknowledged as being significant. Such a failure will imperil our quality of life, perpetuate community discontent, jeopardize the reputation of the navy as being a responsible neighbor, and precipitate future demands that Oceana be a base closure candidate.
