Why not Minot?
Freezin’ the reason!
I sure hope they get them back intact and not thrown back with the pins pulled!

I’d guess that the grenades will be delivered at the right time for maximum effect.

Shemya’s not bad. I was told by the first sergeant there’s a woman behind every tree.

I think at heart, all men are boys in many respects...I could easily see me and some friends out in the sticks...
“Hey! If we put a round in this thing, and get way over there and shoot it...”
“Let’s put it on those rocks way down there, and drop big rocks on top of it!”
And so on...:)

The ammunition will not operate in any other launching device.Depends on what They mean by "operate", I suppose.
My thought - give the team some left over World War II K Rations and canteens, and tell them to walk from one end of the route to the other, then back and forth, and call in when they find the missing box.

“...seeking the publics help in locating the explosives.”
OMG, LOLOLOL! Never mind the potential fatalities, but please find those pesky grenades!

Midway is closed. Does the USAF still have a base in Thule, Greenland?
Yes!Thule is part of the ballistic missile early warning system.(BMEWS)for short.
I served there during the 1970s.

Just remember - you need to use your lathe or drill press to spin them up good.

Silly Air Force. They don’t need to be handling small arms, much less grenades.

Nah, they weren’t lost. They were missing!
[for those that didn’t know, the AF accidentally loaded several live nukes on an airplane instead of training dummies and flew them from ND to Barksdale. It was a couple days before anyone knew they were missing.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tech Sergeant: “Airman. Go clean up that pile of garbage over there on the apron.”
Airman: “All right, Nathan.”
***5 Minutes Later***
Airman: “Nate, you’re not going to believe this....”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA. Said the Army guy who never mislaid a nuke!
