We are temporarily located in tent city. It is about a mile and a half or so from the hospital. The best way to transit back and forth is by bus. Red line to the hospital, blue line back. Easy, right?
I made it to the hospital on the first day without any problems. The return, however, was more challenging. The Chaplain and I waited patiently for the bus. We saw the blue sign in the window and boarded the bus. After about 20 minutes we arrived at a check point. A security guard entered the bus to check IDs. We were about to leave the base!! We immediately got off the bus and walked about a quarter of a mile to the depot near the gate. Finally, we found the right bus. Our mistake was that the blue line has a sign in the front window that is black and white with the word "BLUE" written on it. The bus we took had a blue sign with black lettering on it.
Word not color.
Lesson learned.
