I was....and my 25 years of non-disclosure is up! They actually moved all the warheads out of the area I worked in back in the 90's. I believe its a Border Patrol training facility now....
Back in the early 90's....I was in the Marine Corps working security on a Naval nuclear facility in Charleston, SC. We would provide security (while on base) for these trucks...I think we used to call them SST's (Safe secure trucks). I recall the drivers and security with them being Dept Of Energy couriers. Or cowboys (some wore cowboy hats) as we called them as they got to carry weapons of choice, which seemed to be uzi's.
We would also provide security when the Navy pulled missiles out of the subs or when subs pulled into dry dock to be refueled. Its quite a site to see a sub on bricks....
I also remember riding home for leave on weekend and seeing one of these trucks rolling on either I-26 or I-40....with its convoy of suburbans....
