DB>PN> Friend loses clearance, goes to stockade, has to go be in the real

DB>        I was stationed at Ft. Huachuca in '58 & '59  there was a lot of

DB>        All 3 guards were at the remote site for 24 hrs. The NCOIC would

When it comes to hunting, Fort Huachuca is the best-kept secret in the
US Army.  I wish we were back to those relaxed days, when they treated
people like adults and trusted them to do right without wrapping them up
with regulations.
