Our USMC infantry unit was stuck on an AF base once for 2 days when our C-130 broke. We marched to the chow hall the next morning for breakfast. They actually asked how you wanted your eggs cooked, or if you wanted an omelet.... and nobody was even slightly abusive to us.
We were stunned. We had no idea some places in the US military treated people like human beings.

Yeah...the only people I saw marching at Homestead were in correctional custody. And they were generally there because they were given an inch, and took a mile.
America really needs to have attack dogs, at the ready at a moments notice. I hate to see the laxity that I experienced in the AF trickling into our warrior population. I hope that those units can still police themselves, to an extent.

I was Army ADA stationed on Hahn AB from 77-79. I used that as a tool to motivate my underperforming soldiers: you can do your job and continue having omelets made to order, OR you can stay on your current path. and I’ll ship you to our sister battalion in Mannheim. They spend 8 months out of the year training in the red mud in Grafenwoehr.
It only took one every six months to deliver the message.

It’s not an Air Base if there isn’t a soft serve ice cream machine.
