No we didn't. She didn't hurt me. Well maybe my pride a little, LOL. Next time we will bring a camera to record any nonsense so it won't be a we said they said type thing. At one point hubby thought he saw her coming back and started for the police but it wasn't her so he stopped.
You bringing up the Fort made me think about the fact that there were absolutely no military there that I could tell. The closest thing we saw were two little Civil Air Patrol punks.
Think back to those you did see especially the males now get a real good picture of them in your mind concentrate on the hair cuts, ... you may have seen military there and didn't even know it, they were in civvies but on civilian turf so the needed to be that way but the hair cut will always point them out. That and their ramrod posture.

I sincerely hope you made that comment in jest.
It is shocking to me that you would insult the auxilary United States Air Force (
http://www.cap.gov/). Their web site explains a lot about the organization and has links dedicated to providing information to clergy and parents.
The mission of the CAP cadet program is to "build responsible citizens for America through a positive approach to aerospace, leadership and life skills."
A better bunch of young (conservative) people you would be hard pressed to find.
These kids are interested in aviation and serving their country.
They are NOT "punks" in any way, shape for form.
Because they are wearing an approved uniform of the United States Air Force, they are not allowed to be partisan. Therefore, they were probably there because their unit is based there, and they are civic-minded and wanted to observe.
Because of my membership in the CAP many years ago, a) I recieved private pilot training, b) learned and practiced leadership skills, c) studied history and military traditions and honor, d) participated in actual search and rescue missions, e) learned survival and camping skills, and f) eventually realized my dream of serving my great nation.
Take a look at the information below.
"Punks," indeed!
