Suspicious trailers

The choppers catch up with them en-route

 

That's an AF thing. But it may have changed since I've been out of the program for alot of years. I've never seen or had the drivers talk about a chopper. I know of only the escort vehicles.

I used to load them and we had certain procedures we had to follow to even open the doors. We couldn't go past the rear of the trailer until the trucks were featured on 60 minutes. Then we asked if we could look inside and they let us take a look. BTW our area was the same as those silos. We had enough Marines to take care of the job. You can see my work on the "Navy Nuclear Weapons Association" site. Go to history then photo archive and then people and places and you'll see the first three pictures were mine and I'm in the middle picture. Those are the real deal and the pictures were offical photos. The 7th picture is of the trucks we're talking about.

 

I was in the AF in the late 70's and was a loadmaster. The squadron I was assigned to transported nukes to wherever. The security was and is very tight when nukes were moved even on base. One can count on at least 2 or 3 levels of visable security when nuclear material is moved by truck. It wouldn't surprise me there isn't at least 2 or 3 more levels thats a minute or two away.

 

The bunkers with (what everybody assumed was) our ready nukes in Korea were inside an AB that had roving patrols on the perimeter, behind a triple fence barrier with constantina wire on top of each of the fences. Armed guards were quite visible, and they had loaded (but I assume not locked) M16s. The sign at the edge of the road (about 100 feet from the wire) said the guards were: "Authorized to use deadly force on anyone approaching within 50 feet of the outer fence."

 

It's probably a Matteson Enterprise trailer. US Mail contractor. Leave it alone.

 

I've seen them do this with nuclear bomb's before in an unmarked truck. How I would know is because of a place I used to work we would have to stop work and sit there until they got done loading them and we were close enough to watch but WAY to #### close for comfort if you ask me. This was at Barksdale Air Force Base here in Bossier City, LA. right off of I-20 on the south side of the interstate.

Then again it could be somethign top secret. I better becare. They might be coming to get me now. OH NO! There HERE! I've said to much!

 

The "igiloo farm" as we called it (bunkers) which has another name by three letter's "TSA" I think but not sure, but store bomb's but one section stores the nuke's with about 10 1ton concrete block's in front of the door's that are made of steel, no telling how heavy and how thick that #### is. I used work with a crew mowing grass on the inside which took about an hour and a half to get in and hour and a half to get out under going background checks and metal detectors. This place has 4 fence's of which two are loaded down with several type of censor's along with camera's and barbwire then the "high" road on the out side which is like a big river levei with a road on top that gaurds drive around 24/7/365 armed to the bone. And then another fence out side of it.

Gaurd's everywhere. Talked to one and asked jokingly, if those gun's were ready to fire. Yes, all they have to do is switch off the safety.No cell phone's allowed so acidental detination wouldn't occur and have to leave the ground's within if lighting was detected within a 10 mile perimeter of the area. Running a diesel powered Ex Mark with a deck that's #### near 6 foot wide hauling ### down the fence line trying to hurry so you could get off the clock and go home because there NO shade and it's hotter than hell. Rock fly's out from under the mower, and within a minute you are surrounded by gaurd's with those armed weapon's pointed straight at your face while stopped but the blades still engaged on the mower. They take absolutly nothing lightly. Follow direction's, no sudden movment's while trying NOT to #### on yourself and cut the mower off and inform them of what happened. They apoligize for the treatment because I am only doing my job but it's what they are trained to do.

So yes, those sign's are very real. That job was an experiance I won't forget and all I did was mow freakin' grass.

 

Yes I think enough has been said. You can not confirm or deny the presents or absence of any nuclear weapon aboard any military installation. It's get to be a very fine line if the installation is still operating as a military installation.

 

What we didn't like was the fact that hostages would not be considered.

 

Cool photo's, but the trucks, Vans, RV's, and pickups they use now are much newer. The semi's are Pete's, and it's very obvious looking at them, even from a distance, that the windshield is bullet resistant.
