keep bowling alleys and the like open and the base funding falls short, then they close or cut hours to match demand. I've lived on four AF bases, and though I'd hate it, I'd rather see the MWR stuff get cut than see "invited" civilian guests--bigwigs and not the "rabble", of course, wouldn't want non-connected regular joes getting in-- wandering around the base unaccompanied. Local prominence and $$ should not buy you unaccompanied access to the base, or you get the Tampa Twins, and no one is accountable for their actions. They could always use these facilities as sponsored guests and visitors, BTW--it's not like they're totally shut out. Just that someone needs to get them in and accompany them. I guess that's too much trouble for the brass who seem to like this sort of program--easier to just give their prominent golf buddies and mistresses their own ID cards. Bullshit. And edit to add: they'd better not get access to the BX and Commissary, or you will see AD and Retired go APESHIT. You know that's a cherished bennie.
