<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Is this because the Air Force doesn&#39;t know what a gunshot sounds like? Haha

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am actually installing a system there and was in lockdown with the rest of the base. Glad to hear it was a false hit, myself.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I live in ABQ and I saw this on the news the other day. Watching the reporter work really hard to keep a straight face made me glad that I went in the Navy. They put the word industrial in front of bubble wrap to make it sound cool. It is not. It was just bubble wrap.
