Late night drills?

[meme]

Incase I didn't make my point (which I rarely do) it could always be alot worse.

Would you like to call the admiral to schedule flights around your babys nap time?

That caught me funny because one of my neighbors did exactly that - called the base and told them it would be more convenient for her if they would fly at different times.

You'd be surprised at how many people do exactly that. I'd say a good 25% of them would call up and ask the base to change their flight times to suit THEIR schedule.

Try living on base; babies (almost everyone) learns how to sleep thru it. The old MEMQ housing was right under the flight path to the runway many years ago.

Whenever I hear some woman complaining about the planes (and it's ALWAYS a woman), I think, you are not cut out to be a military wife. Run. Quickly.

gggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Can someone PLEASE tell me why the h*** Pax has to fly their planes and do pilot training (or whatever they are doing) late at night? ITs 8:50 pm and they are continually flying over my house! Every time they fly by, the baby jumps!!!!!!!!!!!! I understand that pilots need night training, etc., but DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do they have to fly over a residential neighborhood?

I live in Drum point and i'll be damned if they don't fly at 2:00 in the afternoon and after 8 in the evening? I mean - small kids are TRYING to sleep!

gggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Tell your baby to man the #### up and get over it

I bet some of these individuals are some of the same individuals that are pointing blame surrounding NO and Katrina....

Thanks "Small Town" ! I really appreciated the "shut up" comment.

I am complaining because it seems to be every night. If you have to quiet a small child, it gets to be very tiring.

But....glad that the forumites are so nice! Thanks!

Oooooh. You came to wrong place for "nice."

Informative, sometimes;
entertaining, usually;
nice, rarely.

Kids can sleep through anything. Use some background music so that the occassional roar doesn't seem so bad.

As to the flying it has been publicized that it would be going on all week (and maybe into next week). I take it you didn't look at a map that showed the Naval AIR Station before deciding to live where you do.

Oh gesh woman! Would you stop your complaining about them flying at night! It is a much needed nessasity for the aircrew (pilots/cotacs/aircrewman) to get the night flights under his/her belt. It is a part of the overall flight plan for all avaition. Without the training of night flying, how would the people stationed overseas on the aircraft carries do some of their bombing runs :shrug: If you think it is loud at your house....you should try and be on an aircraft carrier when air ops are going on. One gets used the sounds especially when your shop is right below the catapults.

I grew up in the landing path for Andrews Air Force Base. You didn't hear me complaining about the sound of airplanes flying over my house. Oh, that's right, I KNEW THE PLANES FLEW OVER BEFORE I MOVED IN!!!!!!!!!!! Your kid will get used to the sound, and it will not faze him/her after a while.

Three options:

1) Call the DoD, have them move the Pax River naval base to a less populated area that you do not reside in.
2) move away.
3) shut up.

Great one!!! remind me to call you when I list my house!!!!

 

[terbear1225]

i guess i really am weird ( i know, i'm setting myself up here.) i was happy when i discovered that my house was in the flight path. i've spent my whole life at the end of a runway. whenever i travel i have trouble sleeping because it's TOO quiet.

 

[Katie]

I am used to it now. When I first moved down here I had a real hard time sleeping through them. Now I don't even notice it.

I used to live in Drum Point and it isn't that bad compared to other places. When we went to settlement for our house, we had to sign a document saying that we knew there was jet noise.

 

[AK-74me]

8:50 pm is not that bad at least they are starting them relatively quickly after dark and not flying over at midnight.

 

[willie]

Only time I notice it is when I'm on the phone.

Like someone said: "JET NOISE, THE SOUND OF FREEDOM"
