With summer coming to an end and with it an increase of tourism across our coasts, it is imperative for personnel to remember that your traffic habits on and off installation must be in keeping with local and federal laws. Personnel should also keep in mind what regulations differ on and off installation, such as those regarding transportation, registration and carrying of firearms. Patrons can find information concerning motor vehicle traffic regulations in Air Station Order (ASO) 5560.7, and installation policies and regulations on firearms can be found in ASO 5510.15D. For any further questions and concerns you may have, contact your unit’s S-1 and S-3, or the Pass and ID office at 252.466.5921. Not knowing the laws and regulations does not exempt you from the consequences. https://www.cherrypoint.marines.mil/Portals/86/Docs/CHERRYPOINTDOCS/ASO%205560.7_Motor%20Vehicle%20Traffic%20Regulations_20141208.pdf https://mccscherrypoint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/5510.15D.pdf (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
