Pershing never experienced such an occurance, I served in Germany from 1978-1989 with the 56th FA (Pershing) and there are several incorrect facts here.
The poster did not even correctly describe the sequence of events that would have occured and he gives his position at the time as a Fire Data computer operator, in a power test station, neither of which existed.
Additionally he states 9 missiles were erected which is incorrect again as the Pershing 1a would not have allowed this to occur.
"we were to have First Strike Capability (NATO Doctrine)" This is a real laugh for anyone familiar with Emergency Message Authentication systems in place at that time....
As a Former inspector of launch crew profciency and with a Top Secret security clearance I would rate this post as a "Wanna Be important" persons attempt to impress someone
