Those of you supporting the base keeping civilians out, can you please tell me how a foreign national attacking military personnel is any reason for Americans to be treated like they are the threat? Those of you you saying it cost most in security, I call bull crap, because until this foreign national attacked military personnel. Civilians had Always had access and it didn't cost anything extra, besides it being part of the job of military personnel to pull watchstander duties and it doesn't cost any extra!!!! I to am retired military and I know it is a farce to keep citizens away from this base, because the American people have never been the threat!!!! EXCUSE ME!!!

It was a Saudi foreign student. While the museum is I tended for the public it is on a US Navy base which is federal property. They can secure it when they want. Should they look at opening again? I think yes, but then again the base CO is taking the safety of his base, his commands under him, and the military and civilians who work onboard into account. How many other bases have you been able to just breeze onto? It’s precaution not absurdity! @IMHO

The security measures are not in place because of that one incident. Other bases have been attacked by civilians. The military is a global force and doesn't set standards in a bubble based on each location.

(Fences etc) It will cost thousands and thousands of dollars to do this on board NAS Pensacola. Some areas on base have not been fully recovered from hurricane Sally due to funding. Pensacola NAS has the obligation first, to protect the great men and women protecting our great nation, as well as their facilities in order to complete their mission. You want the museum open to the public seven days a week. Write a letter to your elected officials for funding, in order to make it safe for our heroes trying to carry out their mission, and folks to admire a great museum.

You said, "I cannot believe that access is still this restricted over an event that had NOTHING to do with the public. A trainee attacked other students and teachers being trained the general public was not a part of it." Attacked? How about a terrorist KILLED members of our Armed Forces and 3 of our Law Enforcement personnel were shot and you merely refer to it as some trainee attacked some other people??? WOW!

Maybe some of you can put this energy into why the goverment worn do anything about the high gas prices, border issue, or formula issue? There are a million things around here to do, you won't die of boredom because the museum is closed! Get a grip, it's a museum on a naval base. They have every right to deny access...PERIOD. Get over your "I own attitude". OMG people, you act like the Department of Defense is depriving you of something dire!

I thought the museum was built with the intent for public access. I shouldn’t have to “sign on the dotted line” to visit our local base.
