You can literally go anywhere on an army base as long as:
a) you're wearing a uniform
b) you appear to know what you're doing
c) you appear that you belong there
d) you have military ID for when the MPs inevitably show up

i've got soul and i am a soldier, his imperial highness, pompous tomfoolery

And take your flower-child peace-mongering, granola eating, tiny-dress ways away, as you might be corrupting the recruits.

Right, That's Sieur Phil's job. ;)

No uniform but looking less vapid than the hair-and-nails set [1] got me everywhere that didn't require a line badge.

Sadly, I have no photographic proof of the time I got to sit in the cockpit of an F-15 while wearing a LiveJournal t-shirt.

1. They treated me like crap on their shoe unless/until they knew who my FIL was, with the exception of the squadron commander's wife, who was worth her weight in hot sauce and cocktail monkeys.

i have a photo of me sitting in the cockpit of a cx boeing 747. this is less impressive but, i'm fairly certain, it cost me a second date with a hot guy ...

this is actually nothing to do with this post but i felt it should be said!

That's still awesome. The only cockpit photo I have is in a MiG-17 at my former local flight museum. (:
