Pretty routine, especially for Mugu. From what I heard back in 2004 the base CO had DVs in town and took them to the beach and there was a huge straight south swell. 100 cars in the lot. 200 + people in the water. They cracked down on security because of that and set rules in place limiting assholes like Duffy from surfing.CA base, Hawaii base, doesn't matter. I used to get hassled a lot (this was 15-20 years ago). 9 times out of 10 I would get stopped and asked for ID when surfing on base, either walking to or from my car, or in process of going/leaving. I often would get stopped at the gate leaving the base, which I never see anybody else get stopped.
Mugu specifically, I would sometimes get asked for ID multiple times at the beach.
I understand it, I'm not white and I don't look like military people of color.
3 times last summer when I was surfing DMJ, there was another checkpoint right by the beach. 100% ID check. Searched my car all 3 times.
It's not cuz you are brown.
