From http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/mcchord.htm

McChord AFB, Washington

Recent history has seen the demise of many Air Force installations worldwide, as part of the effort to reduce defense spending. McChord, however, goes on. Its association with the 62d Airlift Wing, and its proximity to Alaska and the rest of the Pacific theater, make it a vital part of our nation's defense. Its importance is highlighted and evidenced by its selection as one of two Air Mobility Command installations where the Air Force's newest airlifter, the C-17 Globemaster III, is based. The 62d's aging fleet of C-141's began to make its way to Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona in 1999, when the 62d began conversion to the C-17 Globemaster III began.

Shows they only have the 62d Airlift Wing there. No nukes or bombers that carry such...

Strange they would be evacuating it and calling in EOD...

A possible Broken Arrow! The EOD and Disaster Preparedness Teams would respond and everyone else would clear the area!

McChord is a Combat Airlift base equipped with C-17s. If one of those puppies was carrying Nuculair,(Wubya pronounaciation), weapons then the report would have legs

It may be a drill. The Navy pulled this stunt when I was stationed in Orlando. There was a box "with strange wires". The entire high rise barracks was evacuated...for hours. It was a drill. I was steamed. They wanted to see how fast we could exit the building.

Hey guys lay off my dad. He is just trying to keep everyone posted. And I work intelligence operations, so I think I know what to tell and what not to tell. thanks. As far as yesterday goes, it was a false alarm. There was a fire, and someone mentioned the word "bomb" so therefore all precautions were taken. The "anti-crowd" can find somewhere else to post if they have a problem getting updates on our military. Thanks for all your prayers, and sorry for any unnecessary worrying.
