On cspan2. Okay. We went right to okay. Well, i think thats the tone for what we want to talk about today. So welcome, everyone, with that to our first readiness subcommittee hearing of 2024. Hopefully, he will be able to join us. We have a new member joining the subcommittee this year, representative gooden of the 5th district of texas. I look forward to working with him and hopefully when our other subcommittee members free up from their obligations, we can get everybody over here, but i look forward to working with all of you as we go forward through this next year. Unfortunately as you can see from the photos todays topics is not a new issue, infrastructure across the department and the services continues to age and the deteriorating conditions at military facilities, obviously, have brought us as you well know. The neglect, the disrepair, the underfunding of our military facilities doesnt just harm our operational readiness capability, it does have significant impacts on everythin
