I did survey work on a military base for a year and didn’t hear a single explosion. We were traveling all over the base.
Growing up my house was about 25 miles from a military base and I still remember the glass on my window shaking from the explosions.



Pretty unlikely in most places in the west. Most military bases were established at the latest WW2 or shortly thereafter.
I’m sure there are exceptions, but for the most part those bases have been there
