I hope no one is hurt.

Yeah but it's frowned upon when you do it somewhere other than on the range.

My son is there for AIT (68W).  He was told active shooter and everyone was hustled to their rooms.  He is only upset because he left his pizza in the day room.

The following is from mysanantonio.com

Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston has been placed on lockdown while base security investigates a suspicious vehicle.

Director of Public Affairs for Joint Base San Antonio, Todd White,
said that this is not a shooting incident. "There is no active
shooter," he said. "And nothing to indicate there ever was."

Traffic has begun to build around base entrances as no one is being
allowed in or out as announcements over command post speakers continue
to announce that the base is in a state of lockdown.

Updates will be posted as details are released.

They can order out for pizza, but that's about it.  No drinking on or off post regardless of age or phase, no staying off post over night, and have to wear a stupid reflective belt even in civilian clothes.

Shoot, we snuck it in back in the '80s. My first meal in AIT was from the gut truck as I missed Sunday dinner, making my wall locker perfect IAW with BCT standards.  Paid with travelers check as that is all I had.

I used to deliver feed to the BAMC Institute of Surgical Research, one week it would be goats next would be pigs.  I also delivered dog food to the Veterinarian Clinic, deer food to the Quadrangle, and the stables at Fort Sam.  I never understood why BAMC and Fort Sam where separate.
