Can someone explain to me the procedure for a veteran to get a site in Key West, or is it first come first serve? Jack L

That's not entirely true. Many of the 'popular' parks are full because they allow DOD in ... and so it "looks full" and "popular" but the retired and AD military can't get in on short term vacations, leave, or travel.
And the problem we've seen too, the 'DOD' stick around all year, saving money, and the campsites become a mess ... any time we have a situation where any one 'type' of user stays continuously, it brings a sense of "don't care" attitude with it. They're already cheating the system (taking housing money and then camping, and keeping it." So that kind of mentality suggests a lack of ethics, and even less character.
