I Remember!
I was in the Navy stationed in Groton, CT ... just reported for work and got the Div Officer brief and then the sirens went off all over the base. What the heck is this all about? A bunch of us Chiefs went to the Duty Officer bunk room where the only TV was and watch the initial reports coming across the tube. We just stood there in silence, couldn't believe what we were seeing .... NY is only 2 hours away, that's close.
Then the sub base was on lock down and the sat (security alert team) and baf (back-up alert force) were picked up outside the building ... we didn't leave the base until later that evening when security went door to door clearing the buildings.
The images of the towers is burned in my mind .... I'LL NEVER FORGET!
