Md. military bases brace for reductions

Midshipmen at the Naval Academy could spend less time training at sea. Some gates into Fort Meade could be shut down. And routine maintenance at military installations across the state could be delayed, under federal budget cuts set to begin on Friday. Military bases in Maryland stand to lose $114 million in operational funding as part of the across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration. That's on top of the $359 million the Pentagon expects to save by furloughing 46,000 of its civilian workers in the state.
