Sprylynnx It may not be a big deal for guys in the AirForce to "take a little nap" while guarding our nations intercontinental weapons systems. But God help us if the Marine Corps ever develops that attitude. If you fell asleep on Fire Watch in my platoon at boot camp, you would have to write a letter to the parents/guardian/wife of everyone in the platoon, apologizing for being the one responsible for their deaths.

BUT ON THE OUTSIDE (of that bunker)...It is a big mistake to cross that painted line, where it says, Do Not Cross. That is, unlless you want 8 rifles in your face and a side- arm stuck in your ribs, leaving you to wonder, "....and where the hell did they come from." Yes, I know without a doubt, they are THAT GOOD. And, afterwards, after you have been declared "clear" ya have to really respect them -for what they do.

Well, that's what happens when you let your guard down and relax standards so anybody --even the (former nuclear protesters and Green peace weanies can inflitrate your ranks..........

I just hope that whoever falls asleep in front of the nuclear red launch button falls AWAY from the desk, not on it.

Having been a Security Forces member in the Air Force, and worked missles at Malmstrom AFB, MT (341 MSS), if they were in the LCF (Launch Control Facility) then I don't see this as a HUGE security threat, just a lack of good judgment. LCFs are concrete buildings surrounded by a large perimeter of fencing with heavy medal doors that require a code to enter. Additionally, there are usually 3 - 6 armed security force members on site at any given time, along with a Facility Manager (FM) and cook. Although protocol may have been broken, I don't see a few guys taking a short nap with old missle codes in a heavily guarded military structure as headline news. BTW -- its friggen boring as hell out there in the boonies where most of these LCFs are located!!

Hey Treat Guy and MandM..... I never served in missiles, although I did start the school - eliminated due to a hearing deficiency, Being an retired Space ops officer, I dealt with tons of classified info and worked with several former missile ops guys plus a tour with NORAD Combat Operations Staff......Most of these people haven't got a clue as what these crew guys/gals and he targeting/maintenance etc crews deal with and the security precautions and procedures in place. Admittedly I'm a little out of date on porcedures, but I'm sure they haven't changed that much....
