The DoD civilian thing has always been a minor irritation with me, and not just in the case of famcamps. I was stationed in HI a thousand years ago, and it was damned tough to get a preferred tee time on the Kaneohe Clipper golf course on the weekend. The local dod employees overwhelmed the system.
Now, of course, some .mil golf courses are open to ANYONE. You don't even have to be a veteran or employed by the dod in any way.
As stated elsewhere in this thread, the local commander makes the call and his interests are in taking care of the troops and ensuring his MWR programs stay profitable. The requirement to be profitable forces policies that may otherwise not exist.
