Remember there is a difference between a DoD civilian federal employee and DoD contractor. Either way, I believe it is a good idea to allow each Base Commander to set the policy as long as the policy is well designed and enforced. As mentioned already, there is a lot of differences in demand depending upon the location and facilities. When there is variation, there should be discretion.
There are scenarios where allowing an Active Duty member to "homestead" is reasonable. For instance, Active Duty member will be PCSing or going overseas alone in six months, puts their house on the market, it sells quickly, family goes on ahead to new base while the Active Duty member stays behind in the FamCamp until his own move.
Let the Commanders' have the flexibility to make decisions not just enforce rules.
