    But I agree with your general point that it’s odd to limit guards to 9mm, and the general distrust the US military seems to have for its soldiers ability to be responsible with firearms on base is… interesting

    I can never tell what is trolling or intended as satire here anymore.  Base gates are manned by Military Police, or in this case, Security Forces (AF name for MP).  These aren't random soldiers/airmen pulling rotational duty.  Military sidearm has been 9mm since the 1911 was replaced back in the 80's...do you think MPs are rolling w/ M16/M4 to check IDs?  It's an incredibly low risk role.

    Side rant:  "Joint Base ______" will forever be stupid as fuck to me.  It's Lackland AFB, Randolph AFB, Fort Sam Houston, etc.  Solutions for problems that don't exist.
