Naval Air Station Patuxent River will adjust its base entry procedures in February 2021 to institute “stop-and-proceed” entry for vehicles coming on to all of its fence lines. The new procedures will require vehicles to stop at a designated point several feet before the gate until directed forward by gate sentries, and will be implemented at NAS Patuxent River, Webster Outlying Field, and Navy Recreation Center Solomons.
“Unlike the current entry procedure, where drivers come right up to the gate and show their credentials, the new stop-and-proceed will have drivers stop at a painted line with posted signage and wait to be signaled forward by the Naval Security Forces sentry,” said Allan Mayor, deputy antiterrorism officer at NAS Patuxent River. “Once directed by the sentry, drivers will then approach and stop at the sentry and present ID for verification.”

New Delhi, Dec 21 : Aerospace major Boeing has tried again to woo the Indian Navy with its carrer-borne fighter F/A-18 Super Hornet by performing a ski jump ramp, demonstrating the aircraft s suitability for Indias aircraft carriers.
The demonstrations, held at US Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, showed that the Super Hornet would do well with the Indian Navy s Short Takeoff but Arrested Recovery (STOBAR), said Boeing. The first successful and safe launch of the F/A-18 Super Hornet from a ski-jump begins the validation process to operate effectively from Indian Navy aircraft carriers, said Ankur Kanaglekar, Head India Fighters Sales, Boeing Defense, Space and Security.
