I think it is pretty hard to take a wrong turn when trying to enter MacDill AFB - but it has been a while since I've been outside the gate there - so maybe.....

Ok I have a funny story. About 15 years ago when I was in high school a bunch of us went to play paintball, right across from the Mare Island naval base.

Long story short we made a wrong turn. Apparently it was easy to do because we were not the first that day. A few of us had camo on. We were stopped before the gate by a nervous looking guard with a gun.

Without hesitation one of my friends asked "paintballski comrade"?

The guard couldn't stop laughing - I guess it was a different world back then.
