On behalf of Uncle Sam, welcome to the Antartic research station. Please do not shoot the penguins on site. They are animals and not invaders. Also I would suggest the fur lined jock. You will need it.

Sincerely,
Uncle Sam

From what I heard, uh, no they are not. I heard that you don't do a lot of natural things outside. And when you're marching around that's a major league you know what.

It might be interesting to note that Patrick AFB is close to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station where the Titan, Atlas and Delta space launch vehicles are assembled and launched.

[ladyinred]

Really! I was wondering what she could have done to distract them that much too!

Can't send them there. There's *important* stuff to guard out there. Cobra Dane, which monitors Russian (and possibly Chinese?) Missle tests. Second them to the Navy and send them to Antartica.

Wonder if the were Air Police or civilian DoD guards? The latter would not surprise me.

Why's that? My recent experience at several different bases has been that the civilian guards are much more strict and wary.
