    Just Venting

    As you may or may not know, I run a concrete plant with 10 drivers. This morning one of my drivers was making a delivery to a nearby military base that is guarded by civilian gate guards. All of our drivers and vehicles are badged to go on base. The driver this morning is a retired USAF vet. who has fought in 2 wars. He showed his military ID at the gate this morning to get in, as he has done the entire year he has been employed here, and was denied entry by a civilian. This just does not seem right to me and it really irritated me for a civilian to tell a US vet. he couldn't enter a base that he was once stationed at and helped defend for 23+ years.

    Don't get too upset. Just go over his head. The guys probably ignorant, stupid, or both.

      Exactly.

      It's just a case of someone given too much power. I'm sure his bosses would love to know he denied entry to a US Vet who was delivering something they needed.

          I just spoke with my driver and apparently this guy suffers from SMS(short man syndrome).

                He said he needed our company contractor badge for the base.

                  The gate guard is only doing his job. Do your job and get those $%^$^# passes.

                  I can't get on my base without an installation badge either. My retired ID doesn't count.

                  Security is way up and it is going to stay that way.
