So, I live in the Carolinas. That usually means beaches, rednecks, and military. The military has its own means of policing, or did back then. That was to place undesirable locations off-limits. You could actually get in some sort of trouble simply for being in such a restricted place! I had spent the day at the beach, but decided to hit the off-limits gay club later, after my beach "exposure". Laughing with and to myself...
