Waste of Money Practice once a Month
Oh lord, Here we go again with the argument on should they, should they not do this, and how it makes all that noise and how it makes my collection of little hummel figurines shake, it scares my cats, my home that I bought right next to the base last year but no one told me the base was there and they do this all the time conversation. Last time it went to 122 post, lets see if anyone changed their minds on anything.
"Practice once a Month"??? How's that for an ignorant comment.
I live right next to Camp Pendleton in the hills North of Fallbrook and I am happy to have the base there. If not for them I would be looking at a bunch of concrete and houses.. I love the view and the open space. The occasional noise is small price to pay for the beautiful open countryside.
I would pay to see them drop a blu. aka bunker buster.
Your right Dan, they should never practice and save the money. That way when we send 19 and 20 year olds into battle overseas so they can not be ready and properly trained. What a genius you are.
my property in du luz canyon connects to the base and im all for the training
but just think with all that practice out there is keeping you and me free and my son is one of them thank god for the USMC AND USN
Stop complaining
thank god for the USMC! they deserve to practice all they want/ the more they practice-the better they will be to protect you and I. my son is one that practices---so think about your freedom once again. i go with david. 
gripe gripe gripe! if it wouldn't be for the training-our boys would not know how to aim and shoot properly. they need all the practice they can get. my son is one of those practicing their shooting. thank god for the USMC! did not realize we had so many ******** in this world. think about your freedom and your choices you get to make! shut the **** up!
Practice away! As a former realtor tho', the noise should have been disclosed by your agent or the listing agent. You should have read your paperwork better, I'm sure it's in there or you can sue the pants off of your agent, the listing agent and the seller. Guys at USMC I thank you all for fighting for my family's freedom!
Darn, it's after 3pm and I haven't heard one 'boom'. I always look forward to the High explosives...my kids love to gauge how loud one was compared to the one before it. I love thunder storms as well...call me weird.
I say shut down the base and turn over the property to developers or the city. Relocate the base south along the border and see them "Mexicans" running for cover during bombing practice. We can change the Whiskey and Zulu impact area names to Corona, Tacate and Tequila. |
