Crazy that could happen at Andrews. Security is usually pretty tight.

At Ramstien I was on the airfield under the wing of a 747 cargo plane and an older retired GI, maybe in his 70s, pulled right up to us in his rental looking for the BX. He got confused and made it through the JMC gates, between chocks of cargo and personnel, through my shops parking lot, right past the ramps air blast deflector, on to the airfield and stopped to ask us directions. He was oblivious that he was on an active airfield...just completely lost. SFS was not amused. We were just shocked when he pulled up right under the wing. Had a good laugh after he was escorted away.

MSgt Don VandeBogert I did my final annual training at Fort Hood before I retired in 1995 and since I spent o much time with aviation units in Nam, I decided to take a ride to the flight line. Im walking around looking at the Apache helicopters and a Warrant Office must have noticed me. He came out, questions me and when I gave him my background we had a little discussion on the capabilities of the Apache. But Im glad he was checking.

That’s amazing MSgt Don VandeBogert! I flew out of Rhein Main in 1987 and there were more MP’s (American & FRG) than passengers! Ozzies, AK47’s, M16’s and 100’s of police dogs. It was difficult for me & my family to get through security and I had orders, passports, Military ID and I was in my class B uniform!

Biden has nothing to worry about he has the protection of our Secret Service, the Chinese Secret Service, Russian Ministry of Interior, Iranian Quds Force, etc. Nobody is getting past that security wall.
