I remember in Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade doing nuclear weapon drills. You just duck under your desk or against a wall, and cover your head and keep your mouth open. Lewis Black does a great bit about these types of drills; if you ever get to hear his "analysis" of these drills, it's priceless.

And, of course, in Korea we practiced reactions to an attack from the North, though the procedures we used were not really the procedures we would have used in real life. 1-4 drills per month. Working at G-3, I always knew when the drills were scheduled, unless they were called by 8th Army. In reality, the first sign of attack would probably have been 122mm rockets hitting the compound.
