We live between the heart of the U.S. Navy (Norfolk/Newport News shipyards), Langley AFB (home of several F-22 squadrons and the base from which fighters were scrambled on 9/11), several other military bases (such as Ft. Eustis and the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown) and we're not too far from the nation's capitol (about 130 miles or 210 km), including the headquarters of the CIA, NSA, etc. There are actually 51 military bases in Virginia ... we're fourth on the list following California (123), Texas (59) and Florida (56).

If a nuclear war were to break out, I don't think there would be any planning for me and my wife. We will most likely be vaporized before we know what hit us. Lucky us, I guess.

See y'all on the other side!

I found an old storm shelter on my friend's property, I'd better hurry up and figure out a way to get into it.

I am with you.


When I was at Offutt, we figured we had at least three SS-18's targeted on us. Now that I work in DC, my chances of survival are not much better.


Actually, that's the way I want it. If we go nuke, I will be one of the many fortunate ones who won't know what happened.

I used a map to see how far I live from the biggest cities Copenhagen, Odense and Hamburg(Germany)

In strait line I live
Around 170 Km from Copenhagen
Around 60 Km from Odense
Around 150 Km from Hamburg.
Did not measure distance from Flensburg.

These cities is what I call hot target in a world wide nuclear war

So I would survive the blast-But I wouldn't survive the aftermath radioactive dust and so on.

If the Crazy Bastards fly the Nukes?
I'll just stand outside and give them this!

And those won't be thumbs!

They(The grey) have found a way to scan your brain even when you wear a tinfoil hat. They send a NANO-robot in where the sun doesn't shine and it transmit itself up to the brain where it scan your brain.

For most people, it isn't that long of a journey.

Sure you would, if you stay sheltered for the first 4~6 months. Didn't you view the video I posted? I'm not claiming it's definitive but it does lend to possibilities.
