We were taught to 'Turn, Duck and Cover' - turn away from the flash as you sought to duck and cover - and practiced it pretty regularly.

There were also CD supplies (barrels of water, sealed cartons of food and medical supplies) in our classrooms and an air-raid siren near the school which was white with the CD symbol painted on it.

Such was life about 8 miles away from a SAC base.
