Boom, Boom, Pow! JBLM Brings the Noise Next Week!

Get ready for a noisy week, folks, as Joint Base Lewis-McChord gears up for demolitions and mortar training from Monday evening, July 28, through Thursday night, July 31. That’s right—you won’t just hear the sounds of summer; you might as well brace yourself for some patriotic pyrotechnics shaking your windows. From the crack of dawn at 6 a.m. to midnight, the base is pulling out all the stops. Hope your pets aren’t too skittish, because they might just hit the ceiling when the fireworks—uh, I mean training—starts.

JBLM is all about keeping the community informed. They’ll be publicizing these big training events on their website, Facebook, and X, ensuring that you won’t be left guessing what’s making the racket outside. However, routine daily training sessions will go unnoticed, so it’s kind of like being a parent with an unpredictable toddler—some days are quiet, and others are absolute chaos. You want to be caught off guard? Forget about it!

So, if you live nearby, consider this your warning: stock up on earplugs or simply enjoy the show! After all, who doesn’t want a free military concert in their backyard? What will they think of next—a two-for-one deal on demolition and block parties? Now that’s an invitation you’d want to RSVP to!
