I know the sentries at Great Lakes Naval Base aren't armed, and unless the sailors stationed there happen to own personal firearms (which would obviously not be automatic weapons), the only armed (and trained) people are the civilian base cops. I would like to think that they have some sort of SWAT unit, but I never saw them.

These fuckers could create all sorts of havok before finally being put down.

Hey, real quick - when you go to the bash and OTC calls you mr. frazoid all day again, I am going to laugh my head off, heh

He was too drunk to correct. :D

Very true because the only place where I had a assigned weapon was in Korea. I was in aviation and never assigned a weapon while stationed state side except for qualifying.

Funny how the news clip I read about it didn't mention that they were "Islamic radicals". I'd have given you 100-1 if they weren't, but still, why leave that out of the news report? Had they been McVeigh types, some how I doubt their ideology would have been ignored.

Yeah, all I heard this morning was "Yugoslavian nationals."

Like it wasn't perfectly obvious just from the nature of the story that they weren't islamanuts.

So does figuring that out make me a racist, or merely not an idiot?

Great Lakes is the last place my dad was stationed before he retired. Very nice base, pretty part of the country.

New Jersey seems to have a very large contingent of radical muslims, i'll never forget the giant street party one islamic school held right after 9/11...let classes out, shut down the street in front...totally unbelievable.

I kept hoping for the Sopranos to show up & start cracking skulls.

Thanks for that. nlm

They were caught based on a tip from a clerk who was asked to dub a video tape of them shooting automatic weapons and shouting about jihad.

I think we could solve this problem and a host of others if we just sterilized everyone (except hot chicks) from New Jersey. I'm sure this is something we can all agree on.

ROFL

No Doubt.

My brother in law is stationed right now in greenland ,but his wife is living on base at Fort Dix.I only caught part of the news report this morning and was pretty worried until i heard the whole thing.
