Correct.
This warning is what - two weeks late? Better late than never probably but what good will any of it do? Guess they expect the families will stay locked inside their homes and give up school, jobs, church etc.
We are Retired Military, hubby was a SCPO. Last year we were told to REMOVE ALL BASE DECALS. Retired and Active Duty for this reason.
So the article is several months LATE.
NO one can carry a weapon on base except those authorized to do so. Gate Guards! This is NOT a Training Base. They were mostly private company, until recently when the Navy Base went back to using Naval Personnel. Now our ID card is scanned with a hand held scanner as well as being Photo ID matched by the gate Guard.
Front gate is closed on the weekends. Only the back gate is open. These changes were a “cost” measure issue.
Only Active Duty with their ID Card and a code can get in the front gate. They are doing more truck searches too.
We are an Inland Naval Base...BUPERS record keepers, Millington, TN.
