My thoughts?
It took forever to clear post. The place is so damn big and at the time nothing was centrally located. I'm pretty sure I put 30 miles a day on my car and didn't leave post.
I lived in barracks, so that was easy to leave, but trying to clear CIF was damn near impossible as I recall. I think they saw I had about 12 days to clear and decided that I was going to wait until 20 mins before my ride to the airport came.
In 1972 the 6000 area wasn't what it is now, that whole area is massive and spread out.
