The Marines had 16s on me a few years ago - 1995, I think - when I got lost in southern California and ended up trying to go into Camp Pendleton. Oops.

When I was a newlywed, my husband was stationed at Elsworth AFB in Rapid City. I drove him to work one morning in the dark and it was blowing snow like crazy. I was trying to stay on the road, which ran beside the tarmac where the big bombers were (SAC base) and heard a thump. I had run over an orange cone. Then I realized I was driving around by some really big planes.

All of a sudden I was surrounded by yellow flashing lights and guns. My husband had to come and identify me. They let me go. The same thing had happened to an officer's wife and they were harder on her. Must have been my southern accent.
