I bet some heads are rolling. Do they staff bases with civilian security details? There was a time when they used jarheads.

I wonder if it ever dawned on them that the submarine base is doing more to avoid war than anything they could possibly do?

Back in the day we used to run penetration tests on NIKE bases. We got onto one base and into the missile assembly area which was distinct from the admin area. It was a highly restricted area. The CO was relieved on the spot. The weaponry at that base was puny compared to that on Kings Bay. I would not be surprised to see a complete changing of the personnel there. BTW, this was the second security problem involving base personnel recently. Two Navy personnel ODed just off the base. Given the mission there, I am concerned about the state of our military.

Why weren’t they shot? They’ve been committing vandalism at military bases for years and never got a serious prison sentence.

Time to put them in jail for the rest of their lives. Nobody will miss them. Eliz. McAllister is a professional protestor, one of the Berrigan Brothers’ original female companions in crime.

I was on an a/c carrier ‘60-’62 with nukes. They were guarded below deck by armed Marines and when moved to the flight deck to arm aircraft.

I can’t imagine that a Naval facility with nukes would not have armed Marines for base security.
