Really? Stations seemed to be very much places of work with people who are likely to be your ex mates living in the local are up to 50 miles out. On base socialising tends to be entirely cliques. Would your mates invite you into the group or want to leave the group for as chat with a WIW? If you want to visit a mate on base then there is nothing stopping you being met at the MGR. As a regular visitor to quarters inside the wire your mate can get you a pass. No ID Card gets you in to a camp today unless you are active service entering on foot so a V-ID confers no right of entry.
