    There are very few "soldiers" at Buckley, and if anyone is going to be at the DUI checkpoint, it with be USAF SPs (maybe OSI), security police for all of you who gave it a shot and missed.

    Posse Comitatus does NOT stop SPs from being involved in the DUI checkpoint. It stops active duty military from enforcing civilian law. As I read it, they will be there to enforce military law on active military personnel. This is not a violation of pussy comeandgetus. They just get involved once a drunk is identified as active military. Every joint effort I worked over the years, what the military could and couldn't do was discussed prior to the operation with both the military and civilians usually by a JAG or based on a JAGs review of the op.

    So, you can calm down. We aren't in Russia yet.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    Air Force military police are called Security Forces or SF for short. I am not sure who uses the SP acronym.

    Whoops, my bad- I get confused with the Chair Force lingo... SF, that's right, it's the acronym that my AF buddies use and people think it means "Special Forces"... I just say "Yes, they're part of the AF "Special" Forces... totally crushed me when I heard the Air Force lets in people with down syndrome."

    I am with you on this one. Even better is when the AF SF state that they are the infantry of the Air Force!

    Where I grew up, VA Beach Va, it was common to have Shore Patrols and MPs working with local LEOs down at the strip, 80% of the bars are within a 40 block strip at the ocean front. With so many military in the area a large percentage of the trouble was started by drunk sailors.

    Actually there's an Army National Guard post based out of there, flying choppers. I was told in no uncertain terms that the Air Force does NOT have anything to do with helicopters by the switchboardman at the tower...you could almost hear his nose going up as he stated that "those things belong to the Army"...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Thank goodness we have an Army. Where would all the Air Force rejects go otherwise?

    There is a Special Forces unit there, a medical command, a military intelligence unit, two aviation units and CERF-P (CBRN Enhanced Response Force Package. They are the second tier response forces for incidents involving WMD IN THE HOMELAND). These are all Colorado ARMY National Guard units. These units have a higher number of full timers than do "regular" NG units. Now, for the Colorado AIR National Guard...you got me.
