The only trip where I had real troubles with the border crossings, were the PCS trips, traveling under orders.
That never occurred to me.
I just assumed it was bad luck, the other times I didn't even show military ID.
And...you're right about running into pricks. When I've had a bad crossing, it's been because one guy wanted to be a prick.
I try to be well rested and ready at the border crossings. It's definitely a place where you need your wits about you if things go sour.
They like tourists a lot more than military, so I try to act like a tourist. And now that I'm out, that's much easier. I took the veteran tags off my truck also, it was causing me too many hassles in Oregon.
