Somebody please show General Brunson the East “D” Street gate, fix the security there and then open that gate up to help over 1000 troops and civilians get to North Fort quicker and out to Lakewood and Steilacoom when leaving. School busses would like this gate open also. Gas prices are high, stormy weather approaching, and 10 minutes faster getting to work than going around to Integrity Gate.
