I didn't know you could gentrify a military base.

It's been known to unironically happen.

At one of my assignments, base housing had recently been privatized, with a contract stipulation that if the occupancy levels dropped below a certain point (90% maybe?), "qualified" civilians could rent houses on base.

To qualify for residency, non-mil renters needed to pass background checks. We actually ended up with quite a few upper middle class families who were lured by the perimeter fence, military police patrols, and armed guards at the gate. The area around the base was fairly high-crime, so I can almost-but-not-quite see how base residency could be appealing.

Have we actually had a good meltdown since Ralp lost his star and his dignity?

This is true. I'm just trying to figure out what buttons to push without crashing the servers.

I'm getting a 96 for Labor Day, but I'm TDY to a training command base in the middle of nowhere. Somehow, driving to OKC is my best option for the weekend. :smithicide:
