I don’t like gunnery so thanks for the warning.
We don’t like the noise but we need the military out here. We don’t have a viable economy so we need the federal money. Also, many of us females do not feel safe out here without the miltiary.
Yep. You know how restless the natives get when they hear those drums.
That area is sounding more like Waipahu every day.
