Well, being in Ohio, I have a little more information regarding the 
OANG deployment.

It was reported that only 34 OANG members are being activitated.  If this
is split evenly between the C-130 and KC-135 units, it's isn't a whole
lot of airplanes.  Assuming 5 crewmembers per airplane (pilot, co-pilot,
navigator, crew chief, loadmaster or boomer), that is only 3 airplanes
from each group, with one extra person).

I also heard early this morning on CNN that the U.S.S. Kennedy is preparing
to sail from Norfolk to the Middle East.
