The thing that could really ruin your day is getting in the way of a
ICBM/SLBM MIRV warhead test:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...y_vehicles.jpg

Its at Kwajalein. There are better pictures around, guys that were
there had their own set of photos made from the photo lab, some were
pretty photogenic.

I don't recall if any SLBMs were launched there, mainly test shots
were ICBMs pulled from silos and launched from Vandenburg to ensure
the reliability of the ICBM force. Test reports for the launch were a
bear, took at least a year to get all the data together, things were
inches thick. And classified of course.

Late 80s or early 90s they renamed it Ronald Reagan Pacific Test Range
or something like that.

Used to be a cushy job. Just don't get in on the poker games.
