Message: <blockquote data-quote="OK Corgi Rancher" data-source="post: 4314695" data-attributes="member: 45773">I never saw the gate security forces at Altus AFB when they didn't have a slung M4 and a handgun.  As a matter of fact, a time or two I saw a Humvee type truck with a mounted gun behind the gate at Altus.  I couldn't tell if it was occupied.I spent a short time in both the ANG and AFR in Colorado in the 90s, both at Buckley and Peterson.  I was assigned to security forces units at both and if we weren't doing some sort of training, we were always carrying at least a loaded M9, and depending on what we were doing, either had immediate access to an M16 (in a vehicle) or carried an M16.I'd swear the last time I was at Tinker the gate guards were openly armed...but it's been a while and I've only been there a couple of times.</blockquote>
