Well said,

But when have you ever seen a NOTAM with regard to night lights-out flying where the upper limit is 250 ft agl?

Procedures and tactics have changed over the years and perhaps in the interest of comsec it is best not to discuss them on a public forum
Of course you should not discuss military tactics in a public environment but don't you think that military training, in peacetime public airspace, that creates a risk to flight safety should not be discussed openly?

The Ugly Fend Off

You are right, it is very sensible to train lights-out under the control/monitor of a CRC or other radar unit, but how is the civilian pilot transiting through the area going to know what is going on, or who to contact for co-ordination, if it has not been NOTAM'd?
