You're not alone. I grew up here. It's considerably worse more recently than it has been in the past. Some of that may be due to BRAC,(bringing more of the testing here), and some of it may be due to a different kind of explosive testing. It also may be because of 9/11. The military can do a lot more now than they could before because no one thought anyone would attack America. (ie., pre-9/11: don't piss off the civilians with testing. post 9/11: do whatever the hell you want)
