The US is planning to station nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time in 15 years amid a growing threat from Russia, according to a report. Warheads three times as strong as the Hiroshima bomb would be located at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk under the proposals, the Telegraph reported.

Hello Rory! It’s ya girl battle rattle anon, I’ve been seeing a lot of folks talking about this heat and as a Texan who works on a ranch I’m used to it but to someone who isn’t I’m sure they feel like their in a cremation oven.
Now I’ve been creative with cooling off in the summer, such as riding one of my horses into the river, swimming in a stock pond but my absolute favorite is to line my truck bed with a huge tarp and fill that sucker up!
You can even have a cooler in the water like a styrofoam one or have one in the back seat if you have a siding back windshield. If you wanna be extra you can even open all the doors and blast whatever music you want! (Just make sure you don’t do it in a cow pasture……)
Anyways seeing as how our sweet omega is American (or I think she was I can’t remember if not disregard) I can only imagine she did this with the boys finding her and joining in (If she is one who has a truck or maybe one of the guys have one ((looking at you Simon!)) and maybe even have some water guns to entice them).
Btw did you know that there are 13 American bases we share with the British Royal army in the UK? The largest being RAF Lakenheath, where reader could easily have any vehicle imported with the help of her pack as military members and spouses can have vehicles moved with no cost if they are traveling on orders (if they have to they will often be reimbursed as far as I know). Just wanted to share that info lmao anyway I’ll quit ADHD blabbing, to all the anons that are suffering in the heat y’all stay cool and make sure y’all look out for heat stress in yourselves and others! 🥰😘
Hi battle rattle anon!!!!
Omg I can't even imagine how hot parts of Texas get 😭 I know it's ungodly. It usually gets hot here, but it's like maybe a couple days at most. This has been almost a week and it's not stopping anytime soon. I hate it here 🙃
Omg those all sound so nice though. I've seen people make pools out of their trucks lol. When I worked at McDonald's one of my coworkers drove a truck and idk what he sealed the back with but every time it rained, the bed of his truck would fill with water. I know because I made the mistake of riding behind him on my bike once and he stopped suddenly and cue me getting soaked by the water splashing out 😂
Yess the reader is American!! Or at least I write her that way because I am not confident in writing someone as British 😅
👀 I didn't know that but that's useful info ✍️
Anyway she'd so do that. I think I've mentioned either in the lore or maybe in the fic? (It'll get brought up later anyway), that the reader spent some time in Texas while her father was stationed there so she definitely has been in a truck bed pool before. She'd definitely do it with the guys too, if they ever spent time in the US during the summer or if it's one of those heatwaves Britian keeps getting 🤭 Johnny is definitely into it. Chilling in a truck bed pool with a beer?? Sign him up. (He definitely gets sunburned and makes the reader rub aloe all over him 😂)
#i'm trying to stay cool at least#i've mostly been grumpy more than anything#i hate any weather over 70#so this might actually kill me#i want to leave here so badly 😭#i so regret not doing it last year#answered#crcb lore
