So, I may not be the quickest turtle in the race. But I sure have a lot of fun laughing at myself. Today I was on the phone with my mom, recounting my thought process I had while the base was undergoing some live exercises. Which I didn't know about. It was a little over a week ago, when I was trying to head into town to take care of some things. When I was trying to leave housing, and I saw two cop cars parked on the street, lights going. Now I had heard sirens eariler so I just added it up to being a car accident or something of that nature. Then the flightline trucks show up. (flightline trucks don't leave the flightline) and everyone piles out of the cars wearing their kevlar combat helmets. And I thought, that's weird.
Well they tell me to turn around, and I thought no big deal, I'll just go out another way. So I do and I see Hubby directing traffic to go another way, but I can still go, so I turn towards the gate. I then see the line of cars trying to go out, and it finally clicks that something BIG is going on. I turn around and see the K-9 dogs come out, and then the bomb squad.
So I pull into a parking lot, and call a friend, and ask if she knows what's going on. She was all 'Yeah, there is a bomb threat at the hospital'. Yeah. I felt dumb, so I asked if I could be dumb over at her house because I had a great story. LOL! Turns out that the box was just cough medication left by the recieving door left behind. But not before hubby had to evacuate the hospital, temporary housing, both banks and some other radom buildings.
Moral of the story, when Security Forces in kevlar helmets tell you to turn around, just GO HOME. lol. Mom laughed alot at my blond roots coming through, and my slow deduction skills. Fun times, fun times.

Lesson learned, I hope.
