The only thing that they didn’t tell us — Once under the desk, after you’ve tucked your head between your legs, kiss your a$$ goodbye. We figured out that last part for ourselves even as grade schoolers.

Living ten or so miles from the Philadelphia Navy Yard, we knew that if it hit the fan, we’d be getting our very own big turd.

So did I. Then, I grew up and learned that nuclear weapons have a fireball radius (where you kiss your a$$ goodbye) and they have a much larger overpressure radius, where you die from flying glass and debris and hiding under a desk and staying away from windows actually can save your life.
