I wouldn’t trust 1/2 of the officers I had to be armed and the rest of us not. Screw that. Everyone should be able to be armed and ready to go.

Fight? Firearms not allowed on military bases so are they going to throw stones?

“I know of a base where the gate MPs have M16s, but are issued no bullets.”

That is far worse than being unarmed in my view.

I wish the military would listen to me. I have a simple gate design that can not be driven through.

My boss went to one recently and it turned into a “white guilt and privilege” fest.

Nauseating.

> “Run, Hide, Fight” is being taught at a lot of companies today. <

I suspect that the “Fight” part is just tacked on so that the administrators don’t look totally stupid.

Years ago, a lawyer came to the urban school where I was teaching. He talked about breaking up student fights, and about “Run, Hide, Fight”. At the end, he said that if we chose an active approach and ended up hurting someone, the school district would not help us in any lawsuits.

Well thanks for the support, pal.

I wonder if this gate doesn’t have the pop up barricades ? They’ll stop a car right then and there , (as evidenced by the post about the incident at NAS Corpus Christie )

Back in November, a Sailor was killed by a gate crasher who drove on to the base through the exit lane. That base, Fort Story, (a joint Army /Navy base) does not have pop up barriers. The driver hit the Navy Security vehicle head on at 85 mph, killing the sailor The scumbag survived and faces trial

Suspect charged in Fort Story crash that killed sailor

My son was at Ft. Hood when Nidal Hassan went juramentado. When I asked him about arming soldiers at bases, his reply was basically that he'd only arm E5 through E7 NCOs because of "trust issues" with the bottom and the top.

Golly. An assault on a military installation. Perhaps the governor could call out the National Guard to defend the base.

“Run, hide”.
Well it is the Navy.
What do you expect?

Having served 11 years in the Navy.
I take offense at your derogatory comment about the Navy.

'run, hide, fight'

That's good advice for our military, although it should not be necessary. I served in uniform, and in emergencies I would run or at least walk quickly to where I could deal with the problem. Snipers spend a lot of time learning to hide so they can take the shot that counts. Fight? If you can't do that, you should volunteer for the Peace Corps or model as Pajama Boy for an Obamacare ad, not join the military.
