Thank you to those in charge of making the decision to reopen to the public. Only those that have something to hide or a extensive criminal past will complain about the rules. Anyone else will simply comply, go to the VCC, have their documentation and security check verified and get on base with NO PROBLEMS. Military families know what the SOP’s are for getting other family members on base. Nothing new or changed about that. Some people just like to stir the pot with political propaganda and cause as much confusion and chaos as possible and ruin things for the rest of us. Stand up for the flag, be thankful there is someone willing to protect you freedoms, honor and respect those that died trying to keep us all free with their bravery. It’s not a perfect world, but following the rules makes things a little safer. Where do I sign?

Foreign nationals are allowed on base if they are accompanied by a US citizen. There are some documents they need to have. It is all spelled out on the NAS Pensacola FB page.

@Susan
If by chance your daughter in law is married to a military member she would have a dependants ID and therefore have base access. And if not I do believe that as a family member she would be allowed with escort by your family’s military member.
Also you make the comment of it being a political stunt. Exactly how is base security a political stunt? This was approved by the SECNAV and not some politician even though Gaetz interjected.

@Susan: if she has a resident alien card and drivers license from your home state she should get onboard.

We are a career military family with a Japanese daughter in law. It would be nice if when they visit, she could visit the base where our kids grew up. Not allowing foreign nationals is puzzling since the only terrorists on our bases were the foreign students already attached to those bases. Closing off access to the east side of the base should have been done years ago, But the museum and lighthouse should be open to the public including international visitors. Barring them seems like another Florida political stunt. The enemy is already on the base.
