1. You kids really need to listen to Thomas Crowne. But unlike Mr. Crowne,
I lack his faith in your common sense. So I know some of you may try no matter
what his advise.
2. Been there, done that, long story, long ago. We decided watching from outside
wasnt enough. So we "penetrated" the facility. Got caught. Enuf said.
3. If you still just have to go, then do it right. Most "facilities" have web sites
now open to the public, and they "advertise" public events. Base "Open House"
is a big one where you can take your cameras etc...
4. If you are lucky enough to know someone at a place you are interested in,
and you express a real interest in the military as a possible future, you can
get in on "family tours" of areas normally not open to you. These will not
be advertised to the public but they are common. Some places have areas
where you can have an official reason to be waved thru the gate. Example: At
WSMR (White Sands Missile Range) you drive up to the gate and tell the
guard you would like to visit the missile and space museum. During security
alerts this wont be possible. At Wright Patterson AFB, its the Aeronautical
museum, best display of aircraft next to the Smithsonian - Awesome!
5. You wont see any aliens or UFO's but it is fun and educational. When
you are sponsored on base, it sure beats trying to be the next Darwin Award Winner.
Is it neet? You bet. Last Feb. I watched the USAF break the World Land Speed
Record (Guiness Book under Railroads, of all things) and IT WAS OPEN TO
THE PUBLIC. Got photos too ! Few years back, had a chance to go on
Army sponsored tour of Trinity Site (1st Atom Bomb Blast). Pack lots
of lunch and lots to drink inna cooler cause it be HOT out there.

Good advice for all the kids in this thread
My responce was going to be similiar to yours, and it could'nt have been put better.
I plan on attending the next open house for HAARP here in Alaska. I will update everyone here at ATS when I go. There is an annual open house for HAARP.

I think ATS should sponsor the trip. Maybe not monetarily, but with some ads for signups for a trip.

Sort of another motivation for people to motivate.

I think it would be a blast to go somewhere, but it should be well planned and coordinated, which I think ATS could help with a little.

I just need about a month to prepare and to put in for vacation time.
