Really?
How exactly would not having a vehicle pass constitute a security alert? If anyone can really explain to me why they are needed when one is in posession of a forces ID card, I would be grateful! Seems like needless bolleaux to keep the idle in work to me...
Back on topic, I had my aerial stolen in 2002 from the said car park. I was utterly amazed and pretty annoyed at my welcome home from 6 months in lovely Bosnia. 9 years in the Navy and nothing like this ever happened to me at any Naval Base, despite my car residing in them for most of my career. Nor have I heard of it happening elsewhere, except for RAF B-N. RAFP's attitude was pretty much 'whaddayawantmetodoabaatit?". I suggested CCTV, but I see they still haven't quite got around to it....
