Controllers at military fields are required to issue a wheels down check,
there's no exemption for fixed-gear aircraft. I belonged to a USAF Aero
Club almost thirty years ago.

Interesting. I had been told that the "gear down" report was a new
requirement when I was in pilot training; however, if you operated under it
almost 30 years ago, it was hardly "new," it was ~15 or so years old at the
time. I was apparently misinformed on the origins of that requirement....
