As the comments wryly point out, the Army brass is interpreting this as the SECWAR giving permission for the soldiers to ask permission, which the brass can then deny across the board. "No way we're giving these chuckleheads weapons!" you can imagine every Garrison Commander muttering under his breath.

I imagine Sec. Hegseth muttering under his breath, "No way we're going to let these chuckleheads retain their rank of Garrison Commander."
The "request permission" part caught my attention from the get-go. And I knew that this is exactly where it would lead to.
Having lived in base housing growing up, I vehemently fought having to live there while married. Managed to accomplish that with only one exception, and that was enough to confirm my own bias against living on base ever again. It was bad enough having to register all of our LEGALLY OWNED weapons with the base command (Hello, illegal federal weapons database...anyone?? Buehler?) but then later found out that the only reason why we could keep them in our residence was because the husband was an MP.
Yes, I know....my cynicism is showing. 0>;~|
