"Not terrorism"
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
That's understandable as they typically like to notifiy next of kin before releasing names. It may take awile to track down their parents in Yemen.
Move along....
Ahem, they were called Security Forces when I was in the USAF (Security Police) during the mid 1970’s to early 1980’s with the same differentiation of LE and SP they have today. Same for when my father was in the SP’s during the 1950’s.
There’s a name I haven’t heard in years! I worked on the base in Millington in 1985, in the child care center!
Thank you, BP2

Good shot, sounds like that they had it coming. Ted Nugent philosophy. I dont want reformed criminals, I want DEAD criminals. rofl
2 vehicles, the pick-up is an official USAF vehicle.
I didn't know that, I'm glad they are doing 100% ID cards, I was stationed at a big AFB a few decades ago, a lot of people worked at this particular base I won't mention. I couldn't imagine them ID ing all the cars that went through the many gates during the day especially in the morning.
azcentral.com has a lot of new info. I do not know how to post the update article, perhaps some more knowledgeable could help.
LOL
Instead of headline news, it’s buried down near the bottom of the first page, while the headlines are about some beauty pageants views on same sex marriage.
Talk about priorities.
We are so screwed.....
You may have called yourselves Security Forces but the official names have been as follows:
1948-1967: Air Police
1967-1997: Security Police
1997-Present: Security Forces
The Title of the “Top COP” has been as follows:
1948-1960: Air Provost Marshal
1960-1975: Director of Security and Law Enforcement
1975-1997: Chief of Security Police
1997-Present: Director of Air Force Security Forces
I was active duty from 1981-2005 and remember when they changes the name in 1997 because I had numerous SP friends and I was constantly ribbing them that they were now “warriors” and no longer “cops”
Stand by...here's the link:
The video shows the perp’s crashed car on the new overpass on Thunderbird St., IMHO.
But the story says the perps entered the base via the Lightning gate, which is a couple blocks North of the elevated gate @ Thunderbird.
hmmm.
Leads one to conclude they were stopped on the way out, not in.
While this aerial photo doesn’t shoe the new elevated entrance, you can look around here to get oriented: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=luke+afb+az&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=55.849851,77.34375&ie=UTF8&hq=Luke+AFB&hnear=Luke+AFB,+Phoenix,+AZ&ll=33.54135,-112.356738&spn=0.008889,0.016512&t=h&z=17
It’s happened before. Leads to good episodes of World’s Wildest Police Chases and the like. Some car thief decided that it would be a good idea to get away from the cops by turning into Camp Pendleton. The Marine guards took care of that quickly.
Still not sure the story is ‘straight’.
Local news says “Two men in a stolen car apparently drove toward the base about midnight and tried to go through a gate at Northern Avenue and Litchfield Road.” That location is way north of where they were stopped.
Perhaps they DID bust the gate at Lightning and Litchfield, drove south on the base, and then turned east on the overpass where they got capped?!??? dunno.
“They are saying it is “Not terrorism” when it sounds precisely like that to me.”
Sounds like two drunked up idiots who stole a car and got lost.
