Contractors rarely get checked, especially at Benning 15+ years ago when I had a crew there. Maybe things have changed, but probably not since it’s still common to see cool stuff for sale in the Columbus area.

The roadblock that got my coworker got everybody in it...it's not like they let contractors go around. Also when i had my random checks, they had no clue who I was. The other guy who got busted for the knife was speeding. So when they pulled him over, once he got out of the car they saw his belt clip.

It is funny how things change.
I worked for Evergreen Airlines as a mechanic back in 2004-2005 we were hauling military freight on 747's.
I would drive a rental car onto Charleston, Dover and Norfolk among others in a rental car or van with just a DOD card and an Evergreen ID Badge no questions asked and no searches.
I would go from the front gate to the flight line, check in and get a little magnetic cone for the roof of the vehicle and drive straight out on the ramp.
If I needed help changing a tire or getting O2 to service the bottles I would drive around and find a GI and offer them $200.00-500.00 to help me depending on what the job was. I made a lot of friends on the base and never had to look to far for help.

Totally different nowadays! Gotta have a flightline driver's license to drive out there now, plus your access badge has to be visible on your person.

So when the USPS website shows delivered in/at mailbox but I go out there and it's empty, what do I do? Wait a day or so and see does it show up or go over there tomorrow AM and inquire?
