**ßüboni¢ $oñic** · October 8th, 2006, 12:48

recently ive been in talks and have joined the navy. my friend stew who is a civil engineer and worker at the air NG base took me out for food once. He said even though he wasnt getting me beer as a military guy i was alowed to at 18 since i was the state's property. then i saw on That '70s Show the guys getting drinks easy because they said they were military. Stew has been behind the times before and i'm not sure but i think the special age limit tratment was overturned in 1983/4 by MADD lobbying. I just don't know. People at snopes.com seem to think being 100 miles close to the base alows me to drink. Can someone clear this up for me. I'm frustrated enough i was kicked from a swingers party do to alcohol i nvr planned on drinking.
