I agree, but I'd ask just throw the kid off. I'd also probably (if I remembered) ask for his name, rank, base and commander's name so I could contact the commander. (This idea comes from living in a military town now, would never have thought of it before). Oh and no I still wouldn't give personal information either. I'd actually love to see them try pulling that hear and end up trying it with one of the Marines. That would be interesting. There are actually several Marines who ride road and mountain bikes a lot. And there are some trails on base, that we need to check out at some point. (We aren't military, but hubby is civil service which is what gives us access to the base.)
