[MilCom] Eagle Eyes: early reporting stops terrorism

[T H]

The first security forces that ran us off were the
National Guard forces that were TDY and they were all
business,They ran the plates and the guys ID, The two
that rousted me were regular AF guys and they were OK
once they figured out who we were and what we were
doing, We explained that we had been coming there for
40 years and were disappointed because we can't do
what we had been doing for years, They were
sympathetic but had no options.
We now go to Springfield ANG base and watch from up
close, We were questioned there also by a civilian
employee that was a ANG retiree, No problems once he
knew we were legit. TH
