Awesome advice. One that will surely distroy this hobby when some newbie follows it, and broadsides a school bus when the brakes fail halfway home.
No insurance, no tags, impersonating Military personnel. Our hobby and the supply of surplus trucks will vaporize overnight. If you are going to drive it home, you better do a full several hour PMCS and check everything you possibly can check, and you sure as heck better have insurance!
For the OP, I would have it towed as the safest bet. That is always the safest route, tow or haul. If you have to drive, do as others have suggested, get it towed off base at least (the gov will charge $120 an hour for labor and $98 for a sheet of plywood to repair a building on base after you hit it with the truck, ask me how I know) to a Walmart, and PMCS it there. Plenty of 'supplies' handy if you find something that needs attention.
Is to get it shipped back, safest way to do it.
