"And there are traditional police officers who in those days carried S&W Model 15 “Combat Masterpiece” .38 Special revolvers. We were issued 18 rounds of lead, round -nosed .38 special ammunition, and no speed loaders. "

This has gotta be a case of the bureaucrats running the military. What the hell good is, arguably, one of the finest revolvers on the planet and 18 rounds of ammo without a couple of speed loaders?

During my time as an Airman first class I served with the 509th Bomb wing of the Strategic Air Command at Pease AFB,New Hampshire.

During that time I served as a close in Rivet Counter watching and protecting Class A Nuclear Armed FB-111 Medium Bombers during the Height of the Cold War. A Also served as A Patrol dog handler guarding the Base Perimeter against unauthorized penetrations of the base.

The thing I observed was that with all of the precautions we took on the base we still had violent people get on the base and if the Crap it the fan we would have had some serious issues.

Chain link fences do nothing to stop high powered ammunition and people that don’t care if they lose their lives to push a political or military issue forward.

"Apparently, service members will have to request their rights and may be denied by installation commanders who will have to put denials in writing."

I would expect most to be denied, because Obama/Biden purges have left too many DEI and feeble minded in senior positions. All service members should automatically have the right to carry, if active operations give them the option being armed.

How many Post Commanders are likely to approve the “requests” to practice a right recognized in our constitution?

They also prayed their space crapper keeps working.
