<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well, I guess I can't Google what to do next......As it happens, I keep my house fairly well stocked (at least 2 weeks worth) with emergency food and water. After that I think it's going to be a real learning experience for everyone as the area effected goes back to the stone age in a matter of seconds. This is an attack that we never really think about. Maybe I should Google it now.PVT Robert GreshamWed, 07 Oct 2015 22:59:05 -04002015-10-07T22:59:05-04:00Response by PO1 William "Chip" Nagel made Oct 8 at 2015 12:56 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>See how many ancient skills I still remember and probably see if I can hunt down an R-390 Receiver. EMP Just fries IC Chips which is everything these days. Maybe find someone with an Old Tube Amp and Electric Guitar to listen some tunes. I will have the joy of knowing that everybody is just as screwed as I am since when it comes to IT we already are one world government since Data Bases for even some of our Enemies reside in our country and their data just went bye bye. I'm a very old school RF Technician and I would be instantly in Demand like I've never been before while this country tries to restore Communications.PO1 William "Chip" NagelThu, 08 Oct 2015 00:56:54 -04002015-10-08T00:56:54-04:00Response by SrA Matthew Knight made Oct 8 at 2015 2:43 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>None of these is really me so I went with four, mainly only for the first part.<br /><br />If an EMP went off and affected my region I think first things first I would just be generally confused as to what happened. After realizing all electronics were inop and coming to the conclusion that it was in fact an EMP attack I would pack some supplies and hoof it from my apartment to base under the assumption that the base already has plans in place for what to do in the situation. If the base didn't have a plan and just sent me away then I would head back to my apartment, gather as much as I could, lock my apartment and begin my long treck home to ND to find my family and friends and start living the simple life there I guess.SrA Matthew KnightThu, 08 Oct 2015 02:43:47 -04002015-10-08T02:43:47-04:002015-10-07T22:44:04-04:00
