[MilCom] Fwd: [MilRadioComms] C-17A "Hire 71" is denied a touch-and-go

10:05pm EST:   Hire 71, a C-17A from McChord AFB just requested a  
touch-and-Go at Patrick AFB and was refused because it is after 10:00 pm.   They had 
been advised by Patrick Ops on 311.0 that the tower would be open til  
midnight.
   The tower operator advised that although the tower is open til  
midnight, they do not allow visitor aircraft to do touch-and-goes after 10:00  pm. 
Tower handed him off to Orlando Departure.
   So the pilot explained this to Orlando Departure and said they  would be 
heading back to McChord.
   Something seems wrong with this.
