"My best advice to you is to get across the Mississippi and to leave the east coast."
Have a listen to the following conversation between George Noory, host of the late-night alternative talk show program Coast to Coast AM and a caller from North Carolina. Ray, the caller, tells Noory that his neighbor, a Retired Staff Sargent, is moving his entire family, relocating to Missouri and issued a dire warning in the process.
According to CNN, a massive Marine war exercise dubbed Exercise Mailed Fist is taking place over a large area of the American east coast.
In the following audio taken from The Power Hour Show with Joyce Riley on June 20th, two truckers reported on the hauling of lots of military equipment across America with the direct involvement of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
It's just part of a major Marine Corps exercise called Exercise Mailed Fist (translation: armored fist). The exercise is designed to test the capability of every type of Marine Corps aircraft, including MV-22 Ospreys and F/A 18 Hornets, as well as some Navy ships and Air Force planes. The drill will stretch from Quantico Marine Base in northern Virginia to the Navy's Pinecastle Bombing Range in Florida. With thousands of Marines and other service members involved, it's the biggest such drill ever on the U.S. East Coast. "Exercise Mailed Fist is the first exercise of its specific kind and the largest 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing exercise conducted in recent history," said Staff Sgt. Roman J. Yurek, Marine Corps spokesman.
"In the past, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing units had to deploy to the West Coast to conduct this type of training." Mailed Fist was not originally supposed to be one big exercise. But the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing's commander, Maj. Gen. Jon Davis, decided to combine several smaller drills into one big exercise. Not only do the Marines train closer to home, the Pentagon saves money. Most of the exercises will take place in the skies above or near Marine bases along the North and South Carolina coast.
