I remember wondering this on deployment like if a current reservist not on orders just rolls up to the ECP on Buehring or EAB or AJ in a rental car and says, “Hey, I want to go to the PX to buy one of those t shirts with a camel on it and hit the Green Bean” can they? My assumption was no but I can’t articulate why other than it’s really weird and questionable.

Obviously I understand things are very different in the last few months and I’m not asking for specific security details. I’m just wondering in general where/how is the line drawn? I only ever used my CAC off orders as a reservist to get on to my local CONUS post to buy some boots and had no resistance but always wondered what if any were the limits OCONUS?
