Very similar to the tales told about West Fort Hood.

“Naval personnel at Clarksville Base also were pushed into keeping low profiles. Because they were so far from a naval installation, they weren’t allowed to wear their uniforms off-post for fear of drawing attention.”
Marines are never supposed to be in uniform off base. An exception is the Toys for Tots bell ringers which are reservists. Oorah.

So it was a nuke storage base.
You could have said that.

"Strange to consider KGB agents and spies living among the neighborhoods of Clarksville without anyone knowing.
Not strange at all. Considering Clarksville was a transient population, thanks to Ft.Campbell. Now if they were here pre Camp Campbell days when this area was a sleepy tobacco town? That would be strange.
P.S. I've been around 'The Bird Cage" albeit long after the nukes were long gone. Strange to see pill boxes that would have had machine guns poking out to shoot anyone approaching them. And damned cold when winter weather came.
