So, how did Ron Jeremy not get noticed by the NSA, FBI, DIA, CIA & DHS? The Patriot act and more should have provided unfettered access to this guy's musings.

How would anyone have noticed that a guy from Saudi Arabia with access to a military base, who got insulted and lodged an official complaint against the Navy and then bought a handgun? It is asking too much.

If you already have clearance to be on a base then you're not going to draw attention for any of the other stuff. The complaint stuff sounds like cultural differences or something since I can't imagine too many American men who would bother to enlist being bothered by a name like that and most would almost consider it a term of endearment. Service members buy guns all the time and if they're still serving they're one of the few people that even the most staunch anti-gun proponents would still permit to own

My mom has a house on E Strong street and I make to Pensacola once or twice a year, I live in Atlanta. I drive up to the guard station tell them I am here to see my grandfathers grave. They ask for his name. I tell them the name. I wait about a minute and then they give me directions to the site. Rarely am I asked for identification.

If you knew the name of someone buried there, you could probably get

BTW, speaking of "stash", what's up with that on his upper lip. The 80's are calling.

That was apparently the type of stash/stache the instructor was referencing in the insult. It had nothing to do with his hoard of gay porn.
