While I was there, we had this Marine Corp Lt. Colonel that would occasionally come through the gate in the back of a black staff car. He usually went to the Inter-American Defense College or ICAF (the Industrial College of the Armed Forces) on the post. He would always roll down his back seat window and greet ("Good morning, Troop!") the MP standing the gate as they saluted him on the way in or out. When Iran-Contra became a big deal, we all realized we new the guy taking heat on TV.
