So after 633 miles we arrive at our first night's stop. Because BOP has special connections with the US government, we were able to spend our first night at the Frances E. Warren Air Force Base. Immediately upon arrival we were treated like any important dignitary, and offered a spacious 2 bedroom suite with kitchen in the base Inn. I think I might have been the most excited as I have never been on a military installation prior to this. FE Warren Air Force base was the first operational ICBM wing in the nation with the Atlas missile, and now have Minuteman III missiles poised across 12,600 miles in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming. Today, every minute of every hour, the men and women of the Mighty Ninety remain poised to accomplish their vital mission: "Global Strike: On time, Any time, Every time." Needless to say given the current issues in Korea, I felt very safe.
Bop and Jen went out to get some dinner. Upon return to the base, there was some issues and Jen was pulled aside for questioning. Fortunately, they believed her story and there was no detour to a military prison. We all had dinner and went to bed.

too bad the questioning was not more intense - a little waterboarding gets rid of the road dust very nicely!
ReplyDeleteJen has always been very suspicious. I think it is her calf muscles...one wonders what she stores in them...
