What I wouldn’t give to witness a drill sergeant’s reaction to “I do not consent”.
Better park off the park buddy. I doubt they’re going to let you try a second time after you reveal your visit beliefs.
Depends on where on the base they’ll be working. We had base housing adjacent to the secure area and if he’s working on the houses they won’t care. If he wants to go into the secure area he definitely needs to Uber in from somewhere else.
Uber wouldn’t have permission to come in. Secure parts of bases require CAC cards (ATM machine!) for all vehicle occupants (which was fun when generals would come in, have their cac card scanned and was good… but the driver wouldn’t scan good [didn’t have clearance to come in]. “Sorry sir, you’re going to have to walk, or wait for the Sergeant of the Guard to show up with his golf cart… Your driver needs to leave IMMEDIATELY.”). When standing gate guard on a secure airfield I never cared about the vehicle plates. It was always the CAC card and if the under car scanner went off. The validity of your car’s registration didn’t matter in the slightest to us.
Although that may have changed at this point… I’ve been out for a while.
The main post guards probably would care.
Edit: Oh funny side story. That’s the one time I was able to draw my own rifle on a General too… He was coming in to speak to some Colonel, but never got the clearance (probably was just visiting post and wasn’t from there). He got uppity… I did what the Rule of Engagement specified I do (which does lead to eventually point my rifle at the driver and/or engine block and if they still fail to comply… shoot). Specialist me just doing my duty. He finally got the message after placing a few phone calls acting like I was going to jail… Was interesting to see that amount of ego on someone who probably orders his own people to do the same shit. I reenlisted for 3 more years after this trying another unit/job out to see if the Army was really that dumb… Out of the 4-5 units I was in… only 1 was worthwhile IMO. It basically is that dumb… Mad respect to those who deploy and do the job, I know that it sucks (as it sucked for me). But the leadership… man the leadership could use some pruning. Make it worthwhile for the people that are actually good to stick around rather than letting dumb asses fail upwards so much.
Did you ever transfer to a job that wasn’t MP / SP? Because if not then I might know why everyone around you was so dumb. lol
I had a really good experience in the Army (many, many years ago) but that was because my leadership was also really good. I have heard a lot of horror stories that made me understand how lucky I was.
I think it depends on the base and the branch (I was in the Navy). I know in Virginia we regularly took cabs to the parking lot, but we had to show our IDs at the gate. In South Carolina we had cabs take us to the road right next to the base and it was maybe a hundred yards of open space from there to my room. In New York you could get right to the parking lot. However, in Connecticut no cars got past the gate with a civilian inside.
However, that’s been two decades and one of those was a training base. I’ll admit I could be way the hell off these days.
Uber wouldn’t have permission to come in. Secure parts of bases require CAC cards
Active duty military can drive for Uber and they would have common access card cards.
I’ve been turned away from a base for not having a sticker on my windshield that was apparently mandated by the local government for all vehicles.
This depends on the base commander but most of them do care very much about this sort of thing.
Just hop the fence, it’ll be fine. Be sure to inform the Belgian Malinois flying through the air at Mach Fuck You that he doesn’t have jurisdiction, you’ll definitely be leaving with all of your arms still attached.

No you will not.
Tbh they never cared that mine was expired 4+ years so he’s probably fine
