Narrative:
I intended to taxi from the military ramp at the west end of the airport to an FBO at the east end where the military aircraft was to be left for a 100 hour inspection. I became distracted by radio traffic on the military FM radio and forgot to get a clearance from ground to enter the taxiway. After turning onto the taxiway and traveling approximately 100 ft I noticed the error and contacted saf ground (tower) for the clearance. There were no conflicts with other traffic and the rest of the taxi was uneventful. Had I only turned on the avionics necessary for the taxi I wouldn't have been distracted and the incident would not have occurred.
