Bomb threats in the Tidewater area

| August 2, 2017

Yesterday, Naval Station Norfolk was on lock down when a sailor reported seeing a diver in the water. The peirs wer locked down, but there was no diver found.

This morning they were locked down again for a bomb threat. That was cleared, but now, nearby Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story has fallen victim to four more bomb threats according to 13 News Now;

The first threat was called in at 9:19 and targeted the USS Whidbey Island (LSD-41). A second bomb threat was called in at 9:55 and was phoned in, targeting the Admiral Joel T. Boone Branch Medcal Clinic. The clinic was evacuated as a precaution and following a security sweep, returned to normal operations.

A third call came in at 10:30 and targeted the USS Gunston Hall (LSD-44). Pier 16 is secured to all pedestrians and vehicle traffic, as well as the marina and harbor.

The fourth came in at 10:55 for the Personnel Support Detachment building. The facility was evacuated as a precaution.

WTSP reports that all f the threats have been cleared.

It’s all Trump’s fault.

It’s terrorists and they’re just testing us to see you response and timing and tactics.
Too bad they don’t have some highly trained and super motivated killing machines in that area to protect us and the facilities.
Wait a minute, Jonn, why don’t you do a roll call for the guys that are profiled here at TAH and see who’s available in the MD, DC, VA, NC areas that are Special Feces and see if they aren’t available for rapid deployment?

Joseph Cryer's Narcissism

Let me tell you about my SEAL story.

Yes, I was a part of SEAL Team 6. We launched from the USS Caron, swam to the beach. As soon as we landed, all hell was upon us. We were shooting at these giant ants that, once we successfully killed them, fell down to the ground and bounced around like giant balloons. in fact, it was like watching giant balloons fall, balloons that were in the shape of ants.

But, no matter how many ants we killed, an alien spaceship kept dropping more giant ants, that not only walked around all over the place, but spit these nasty things out the killed people left and right. I spent all day killing ants, while I glided along the streets, shooting these ants with the help of my SEAL Team Shipmates. Libya looks amazingly like any Western country when it comes to buildings.

I had to go back to the ship though, as we were on port and report watch rotations in Combat Information Center. But, as soon as my shift was over, I returned to land to help shoot more giant ants.

Aaaaaaaah! My pants are on fire!

I wouldn’t toss the idea that it may be an employee…wanting some time off or a disgruntled employee…..not discounting muslim scum however! tie cinder blocks to their ankles and drop them in the bay when they catch them….! cause a medical clinic to be evacuated,cinder block is too good for them! imo

Russians. Ask the MSM, it’s always the Russians now.

I’d bet it’s kids who have nothing to do but make nuisances of themselves, or someone just testing the waters.

Where is the NSA when you need them? Cellphone intercepts should be child’s play for THEM!

Ever hear of proxies? Unless they’re bored kids they’ll have covered their tracks.

Yeh NSA talks a good game, but in reality, couldn’t find their ass with both hands at high noon imho!

more like an awful lot of chaff to sort through to find any wheat. You know how many telephone calls are placed in any given day?

When I was stationed at HS-1 onboard NAS Jacksonville, Fl; our barracks had a bomb threat called every night for a week back in the mid-90’s.

I would climb in my pick-up and drive a short distance to the marina park, and sack out. It really sucked because I was already on a Mid-check shift…and this just increased my exhaustion.

My guess it was young Aircrew students thinking it was funny…
