I must admit that after over 49 years of living and working on a base I sometimes refer to "the base" when we are away and refer back to TV. At first I tried to catch my self and substitute "campus". I think I've heard Gracie, or someone else say the same. With all of the recreation and golf it is much like most AF bases. You've heard that Gen Lemay would ask for more money for runways when he had already built the NCO and Officer Club, golf course and housing, I'm sure.
Those years on bases around the world have allowed my last PCS to be to the Villages and I am a very very happy man that it has done so.
