[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 275469, member: 255"] Just to clear a few things up...we are a military family and we live in military housing, which is right next to a special ops base. They do a few things there, but the main thing is they train Marines in military and special forces. They also share the base with the Coast Guard that does training there too. AND...they are now building a military prision over there. Its a big base (land wise). Janet, we live in chesapeake, va...very close to the North Carolina border. We used to be in VA Beach. Its very laid back out here. We are in the country in the middle of nowhere, so there is nothing for the kids to do. So they ride onto the base on their bikes/ scooters, whatever. Theres a little 7 eleven type store over there and they take their allowance and go buy stuff from time to time. They also have a huge family pool, gym, tennis courts, baseball field, etc. So I didn't want yall to think he breeched some kind of security thing by entering over there. He is allowed. Now the shooting range...it doesn't have a "sign" up saying stay away or anything like that. And even if it did, I think 11 yr old boys would take that as...hmmm lets go see what kind of danger is over there. I had a long talk with difficult child about this and he got the message when I told him they could take his base privilages away (they have done this to other kids out here) if he disobeys rules, etc. That made him really scared. He loves having the freedom to use the facilities over there. So I don't think he will be doing that again. [/QUOTE]
