I always had problems falling asleep when I was home without all the noise. Rescue was usually right on the flightline for a quick response time and you had jets taking off all night/day. Earplugs were a good thing. Wonder why I have hearing loss. The wors were when we were on a large base and had the B1B's. They were freaking loud!
Speaking of loud. We got a Delta II launch Saturday morning at 0545 PDT. That should get Lompoc fired up :rofl:. The Delta IV launch has been postponed until early December. Have to find a good place to watch that one from. I have 2 years worth of making concrete invested in that one.
