There was Indirect Fire (IDF) on the base. The alarm system when I was there was excellent, I'm certain that he heard them go off at least some point. Whether or not he was in an area he needed to take cover, I cannot say. The alarm system is loud.
There was not a Baskin-Robbins to my knowledge there...It was a Cinnabon in my time. There was also a Taco Bell. There was also an 2 Olympic swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor. Civilian swimwear was authorized, at least for the Air Force Personnel, I don't remember Army. We had Saddam's Movie theatre playing new movies.
It mentions a stricly enforced 10mph speed limit, that may have been the housing area/by one of the PXs.
It was a very very cush base...My 1SG referred to it as "The Land of Milk & Honey". A very accurate description.
