In 1970 I was an army basic training instructor at Ft Jackson, SC. One of our extra duties was Courtesy patrol in Columbia. My duty was walking the downtown streets wearing class B's, helmet liner, we carried nightsticks. Our mission was to monitor army trainees who were in town on pass, we entered numerous businesses. No one seemed to be alarmed at our presence.

As a Ft. Polk basic trainee that was in beautiful downtown Leesville without a pass, it looked to me like the Courtesy Patrol guys or MPs or whatever were everywhere. It made me alarmed and was interfering with my whoring and drinking.

I grew up next to the largest military complex in the Free World, Ft. Hood, TX.

Never saw MPs or any other military security personnel combing the streets of surrounding cities.
