have a interview setup for a position in montana... that while researching i have discover is in a minuteman field...
IE a really big target in any nuclear exchange. edit: the town is in a missile field (lewistown, mt) |
|
Hell yes.
Best security anywhere, and if it comes to launching your gonna be fooked no matter what. |
|
Why not.
I live 20 minutes away from Oak Ridge. Just another day. |
|
Wouldnt bother me. Missle fields are so spread out that unless you specifically went looking for a missle you probably wont find one and with much driving to finally find one.
Truthfully if you look around where you currently live, im willing to bet you will find that your living next to a target right now. |
|
The chances of getting hit by an ICBM aren't what they used to be. Sure, the possibility still exists, but if the nukes are flying anyway, maybe you'll get out cheap
|
|
No sweat. Drove through threre many times as a kid. Lived in Hays,Hardin,Roundup,Billings and East Glacier. Have family near there.
|
|
how is the area? looks nice and secluded, and land is cheap, but housing looks hard to find and I assume most land has water issues> |
|
|
Hell yeah! Who wouldn't want front row seats for the fireworks? |
|
<------My bunk used to be next to tube #15.
NFW would I deliberately put myself in the center of a non-mobile bullseye. I'll take my chances with the potential aftermath. |
|
All land is going up in price in Montana do to people from california,texas,washington state. The country is nice.
|

Would? Pretty much have been for the last 35+ years. If the balloon ever went up KC & western-central Missouri would be a glowing crater. Front row seats to nuclear fun & games Less of a worry now (so far). If any dirka dirka dickhead terrorists get ahold of a nuke they're more likely to use in in a well populated, symbolic area (NYC, DC, etc). If things go sideways with the ChiComs or a resurgent communist/nationalist Russia then why not be in a position to enjoy the lightshow up close. Unless you're in BFE any decent sized city will get some. |

+1 You guys who wouldn't even try to survive are pussies. I really have a fondness for being alive and I'll do what I can to keep that way. |

Tucson Arizona is a former missile farm. There were 16 Titan II ICBMs spread from NW of Tucson to Wilcox AZ. Plus Davis Monthan AFB doesnt help having the bone yard as a target as well.
No worries dude. |
|
Supposedly, there are a ton of those things in Wyoming. To hear some of the old guys talk you'd think there was one in the front yard of every house.
|
|
I would. Yes, it's a target - but it ain't going to be the first thing hit.
Plus, you have thousands upon thousands of acres to get lost in if you need to get lost. |
|
I live in the Wyoming/Nebraska/Colorado Missile fields about 16 days a month . The other days I have off and am at home with my family.
|
|
Why not? I used to work right on top of Cheyenne Mountain. Sure, the Rooskies might try to nuke their way through a half mile of granite to get to NORAD, but by God, they had to go through me to do it!

What's pussy is living your life like a paranoid rat. |

I would recommend no. We are at a low point right now in terms of ICBM exchanges, but that could change after 2012. China is presently building a new generation of ICBM's that can reach all of the US, and there is a growing danger of intended or accidental war in the coming decades as china is determined to encorperate Taiwan and control the pacific ocean.

|
I live in the state with the biggest Ammo Depot,Missile? can I have one?
Pwease |
|
Exactly where in Virginia do you live right now that leaves you outside a target zone? Fun and Games In Virginia |
|
|
its freakin awsome (and beautifull) in lewistown, mt, there 5 gun stores that are pretty damn big for a town with only 3 gas stations. i have spent lots of time in lewistown, if you want any more info PM me.
|
|
Yes. I grew up in a small town in northern Ontario, North Bay. Since Diefenbaker sold us out on the Arrow, we got Bo-Mark missiles and they were only a few miles from my house.
I've already done it. |
|
Did you get to see the Stargate? |
|
|
|
|
actually I am in franklin virginia right now so I am outside the blast radius of and upwind of all the Hampton roads targets
|
|
used to live close to a SAC Base with a small Nuclear Power Plant,if the Sh*t is emminent could I just have a Beer,BBQ and see yer ol' Ladies Nanners before I'm blown to bits
Small thing to ask and I will give my appreciation |

Truth |

Could be, the map is from 1990. And who is to say the Russians or ChiComs have retargeted accordingly. Doesn't matter if the Whiteman AFB missiles are gone if the missiles aimed at them haven't been updated (lack of $$$$ or commie paranoia that the deactivation was a scam). |
|||
|
I'm glad to say that this sort of concern is so far down my list of worries that I'll naver come close to checking off the higher-priority concerns on the list. |
|
|
I wear a Pocket Rocket (Missile Badge). Hell Yes I would live there! Missile aren't scary.
|
|
I live 2.5 miles away from NSA's huge new facility here in SA. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be on somebody's target list. Probably more so than an ICBM field.
|
|
Not a Boy Scout, I take it. |

It's no big deal just hype |
|

Done it, couple of times. In fact, I work in one now.
Lots of courteous people in nice blue trucks to help you on the roads. They bring lots of money and talent into the area. And, let's face it, if we do our jobs right, you never have to worry about nuclear war, because we are accomplishing our deterrent mission. And, let's face it, if your biggest worry is being a target for an ICBM, your life is going pretty well. BTW--you'll like Ruby's in Lewistown. Family-owned burger joint, awesome food, and their shakes are the best I've ever had. (Highly recommend the huckleberry ) |
