It is an Absolutely incredible museum and an utterly unforgettable experience. Being in the launch control room as the docent walks through the launch is a surreal experience. When I was there, I remember feeling physically uncomfortable as he was talking through the process. From the moment we turned the launch key, I could feel my pulse quickening. My heart was pounding until, 58 seconds later, it sank with the realization that the missile was now on its way and millions of lives would soon be snuffed out with no way to stop it.

After going through this tour, and Syn, just how passionate our tour guide was about explaining the various aspects of this, and made you realize just how severe this was. It was terrifying to think that people on the drop of a dime could have change the face of the world is not completely destroyed it. In my opinion, human should never have that kind of ability or impact, and knowing that we aren’t the only country that does have that impact is absolutely terrifying even to this day.

Judging by guys I worked with over the years who were formerly on these crews or on the subs, they were a chosen few who had the 'right stuff' for this. They were very methodical, detail-oriented, cool under pressure, and generally pretty intelligent. And they also knew how to unwind after a shift and let it go! Thumbs up for a really good ride-along!

Yes it seems as though they were elite and many who went out for these jobs didn’t make it to the actual crews because it was such a difficult task. Thank you for joining and enjoying the trip!!

I was 19 when I stood my first alert in 1983. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. If you count the travel time and the overlap between two crews, it wound up being about 30 hours of duty.

Yeah, I’m super happy about that. The reason I share so many of these journeys is so that people who haven’t experienced them can experience and from the comfort of their homes, and for those who are looking for places to go, they can find things that inspire them to get out and potentially dig a little bit deeper. I’m so excited that your grandson is enjoying the Content especially with this video because this video is so important.

Very cool, Bunny! Thank you. My husband helped build submarines in Connecticut. He told me that the USA can stop some nuclear warheads from other countries but each missile has so many at one time that we can only stop a percentage. And, like the man said, we have literally 30 min before they hit. We live ten min from MacDill AFB. It's the USA command ctr. If it was hit, we'd be TOASTED!

I think that everyone who doesn’t have experience like you have needs to go to this because it does put into contacts the serious nature of war and then also the handling of items like this. Our tour guide was so good and really hit the spot on all of the points of conveying not only the serious nature of the training, but also the terrifying potential that this had.

I live in Phoenix went here in the early 2000's the guy doing the tour he was one of the last crews who were stationed at the silo when it was still active in the 1980's. It was cool to talk to the actual folks who were there during the days when the missile had a live 9MT warhead. When we went back up to the surface, I pointed to couple of old looking 1980s vehicles parked there one was a pickup truck I asked did you drive those not only did they drive them they were the last person to drive them to the parking spot.

That would be a great tour. Having had someone who was stationed there they could’ve talked about the emotions that went through you and that would’ve been very interesting also.

You seem to be getting braver about snakes. The things you should be most aware of is that rattlesnakes like to hide beneath rocks and heavy equipment. It’s always best not to put hands or feet near those hiding places. The other thing is that snakes come out to warm/sun themselves on paths when the weather is cool. Otherwise, just watch where you step, and give them fair warning to let them know you are coming. Using a hiking stick might help with that. You also have Brock with you. He’s the expert! He may have something to do with the reason you seem to be gaining confidence in facing your fear. Way to go Bunny! 👍🏻

Definitely not getting braver. Lol but I feel a bit more confident in going to places whenever I have people around me because I think that that’s one of the things that is imperative when it comes to snakes not only with someone else likely spot it out first but also if something did happen to me, I would have people who could immediately rush me to care lol instead of sad that that’s the way I look at it but if I am going to encounter want at least I’ll be with other people

What nobody knows about are the anti-ballistic missle capabilities of the U.S. or Russia. Those unknowns could keep the world safe, for a while.
