having base access will definitely improve your QoL… as well as access to the naval hospital if you need more specialized care. If you guys are looking for a couple year adventure and traveling on your days off around that part of the world it will be worthwhile. You might want to check, but I think retired military can get into base housing which will give more options… a friend of mine was the CO and said they were looking at that option a few years ago. With the new Marine units moving in that might have changed.
