Chapter 29-2 Beyond Our Walls Part 2

[Litmaster]

What type of comms do the personnel at these remote sites have? Is there any way they could make their presence known to a base like Fort Irwin? In my mind I'm picturing a survivor sitting at an Autovon phone, dialing number after number from a government phone directory hoping someone will pick up.

I believe it was Autovon at the time I was in, but they have since switched to a different system. I was at Grand Forks AFB in 1993-94, so they still had all the old Cold War shit back then. I was surprised to find out that they turned one of my old sites, Oscar Zero, into a museum!

Anyway, guarding nukes was a sucky job in a sucky part of the US (sorry, any of you from North Dakota, but your state sucks). Cold and flat, and nothin' to do. The only good part was our schedule was 3 days on, 6 days off. I found a 10 minute travel channel video on YouTube that gives a pretty good overview of the old LCFs and even takes you into the silos themselves. The video was filmed at F.E. Warren, but that is pretty much the way things were at Grand Forks as well. I was only there for a year, but I have lots of funny stories about guys chasing rabbits off the LFs at 3 in the morning...

Of COURSE that wasn't an intentional slight at the Air Force. Just saying...

Translation of Kc's Real Meaning: "You Chair Force guys are all a bunch of pussies!"

Oh crap I'm sorry I thought you were talkin to me. Losing it is pretty normal here and not a bad thing for this fan base is Powerfully Passionate about every topic, therory,character and crazy tin foil hat idea you could imagine. If you have passion for zombies this is your place. I'm sorry about your husband I can empathize. I know Reaper pretty well I don't speak for him but I do know he's a nice guy that would never intentionally harm a soul.

well then i apologize, let me clarify: i thought you were posting a tinfoil hat theory, and i replied in jest. i meant no offense by it, so let me reply seriously:

Hey Reaper and Yarri... you guys are both great to apologize like that. I've done forums like this for awhile and know it is WAY TOO EASY to misinterpret the subtle meaning and tone of what someone writes, so people getting pissed at each other is rather common. Doesn't happen that much here though, I think, because we're mainly focused on talking about the story and not each other. So anyway...

...oh yeah. Uh, about the new episode. Hey, what happened to Lady?! Did they take the dog with them to Boulder???
