The guard would see the color of the sticker and salute that sticker. About 20% of the time, after the salute they would then point to the inspection lot. I would pull in, and pull my wallet and show my ID, and they read it carefully, made me get out, and searched the car for anything illegal. I never did drugs and I never smoked so they never found anything except my camera gear to search. They then would want to study my ID card again and log in dad's service number, and time and date I came through.

Good story.
I remember going to davis with my grand parents as a young kid. The sf would salute and we would be on our way (grandpa was o6). When we went to bx i was excited we always parked in the front of the lot. Thought it was normal.
Anyways. To this day I've never been searched at a gate anywhere conus "knock on wood". I've been searched at luke on the way out, but that was a 100% search and they just opened our back doors and kept going down the line of cars.... was very weird.
