I’ve been trying to attend courts-martial at two military bases recently...one in Massachusetts and one in Connecticut.After months of phone calls I succeeded in getting the support of an Air Force JAG officer to gain admission to the base in order to attend trials there.But the Navy refuses,in spite of my having cited the Rules For Courts-Martial manual stating that the civilian public has a right to attend *most* courts-martial,to allow me to enter Groton in order to attend trials *there*.I absolutely agreed to a background check,the production of several forms of ID,full searches,etc...but still no dice.
It is very difficult to get on base in Groton, which is a nuclear sub base. I was making a delivery of equipment they had cordered with a priority delivery and still I waited over an hour to be waved in
