I under stand they have to trains/test. But at 11pm? And resume again at 9am the next morning? Damn!

They need to train and test. Plain and Simple. War doesn't adhere to a schedule.

It's been going on for years...why NOW does it bother anyone?? The base has been doing this since before most of you even lived in the area. Be grateful they're doing it, and stop complaining.

Better the test/ training explosions then the real deal ! In case you complainers all forgot, go down to Ground Zero,sit there for awhile,and remember what used to be there !

All weekend on the island we were hearing it....didn't think it was them but now understand with weather conditions.....it was.

Grow up I'm in the line of things and I'm proud that our military are practicing for the safety of our country. Its not that bad it could be worse think about what it is like for them in the real thing. I have a son who did several tours in Iraq and before going they go though a lot of training. Think about it this way with each boom you here it our men practicing for the real thing. Every body complains about everything

I've lived in Ocean County (off and on), for 41 years. Yes, I've heard the "booms," and I knew EXACTLY what it was. Testing on the Fort Dix firing ranges. Not thunder. It doesn't bother me.
It's a small price we pay for the freedoms that we enjoy. Give 'em Hell, boys (and ladies!).

I live in Toms River....a new resident....I am hearing the booms...but I am proud of our military and happy that they are only practicing......remember 911 ...go USA! This is necessary...Freedom is worth the noise occasionally...

FREEDOM is not free and those who HAVE paid the ultimate sacrifice would love to here those sounds once again to know we a ready for ANY action against the USA... Practice makes perfect when you need the experience of mock battle, to when you experience the REAL thing...and comrades are falling by your side ! Remember 911 as innocent people were taken from us and 911 responders were lost that day and years later, due to there Heroic efforts to save lives Not take them ! Be prepared !

It is Much more often than it used to be. Somethings going on. <><

Maybe it's the ghost of The Hindenburg....Ohhh The Humanity !!!

...we are still in "War Time"...it NEEDS to be more than before...WOW, I would think people would put the pieces together....

Even the base wants to work with the people that live within earshot, as well as us people that hear the loud "bombing" noises all day love the milatary understand that there is a real reason for what they are doing.
I was so pleased to not only get a reply, but a THANK YOU for the support and for our family's contribution to the military. This was someone who knew that no matter how much you support the military or even if you have served in the military when you are in your HOME there are some things that you deserve and have a right to.
When this ends on June 14 at 11pm it will be the end of nineteen straight days of these loud "bombing" noises. We are so happy that it will be over, and are just as happy that the base completely understands the situation of there neighbors.
In our situation we thought being outside the ten mile radius along with the two months we spent here before our closing and did not hear one day of this, plus it was the recommendation of two family's who live here in which first made us interested in the area......that the base would have no effect on our slandered of living.
After all the nice people I chatted with and left reply's...it was the correspondence with the person from the base who was also disappointed and saddened by the nasty reply's from people who say they support what the base is doing and the military.....but act in the complete opposite way that the military would like to see them conduct themselves. USA !!!

It's a small price to pay to insure our freedom and safety. Thank God there are people who are willing to take on the responsibility of guarding the American public.
