All Military bases/installations are on Code Charlie. No one in without Positive ID Check.
As well some reserves have been placed on Active.
my wife is a civiilian employee of Army Research, and works at the Watervliet Arsenel. all civilians were sent home, not to return to work until further notice. as she left, she noticed that they were busy turning up all the security precautions, including new jersey barrier at all the gates to slow down/stop ground vehicle based attacks. i would imagine that they've issued M-16s to the civilian guards, and issued M-16 ammunition to the MPs (it seems it's a bad idea to give the civilian guards ammunition w/o adult supervision, but that's another story.) richard -- Richard Welty Averill Park Networking rwelty@averillpark.net 518-573-7592

Not to be pedantic, but I'm assuming you mean the NATO 5.56MM round, which is also used in many other rifles around the world. I know several non-active servicemen who've just been activated. One is headed to Manhattan (I believe he's a doctor), and I'm not sure about the others. Regards, -- Joseph W. Shaw II Network Security Specialist/CCNA Proud owner of a pre-ban Colt AR-15.
