The Air Force MPs are probably less efficient than the civilian police about this sort of thing. Anybody who has dealt with the military about anything will not be at all surprised by this. 90 minutes is as to a blink of an eye when it comes to administrative tasks performed by the military.

When we drove onto the base last year to visit this Air Force Museum, and as we passed a big sign that informed us that we were entering Wright Patterson AFB, I said aloud that we were now on a military base and we would be following all of the rules. So if the sign says “keep off the grass”, we were going to keep off the grass. When you’re inside the fence, it’s not like you are in the real world.

Spent my time in the U.S.A.F working in classified facilities for all but a year of that. I worked inside the fence that was inside the fence, with the use of deadly force authorized.

We never ran into this type of issue. Of course, that was 20 years ago, and not right after a shooting on Fort Hood, and not after 11 years of continued warfare fighting terrorism.
