“Among President Clinton’s first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases. In March 1993, the Army imposed regulations forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection. For the most part, only military police regularly carry firearms on base, and their presence is stretched thin by high demand for MPs in war zones.”

I was in from '89 to '94, and those were the rules when I was in, not just starting in '93.

Whoops, that should be from ‘87 to ‘94, not ‘89. Of course, when I was stationed in Korea for two years, we were under a Status of Forces Agreement that basically disarmed us anyway.
