RV'ing at the Naval Station in Key West
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

Wow I am really surprised how little is know about Govt. Civilians... I currently work for the Corps of Engineers an also retired Coast Guard. Trust me I am not working for the retirement, it is not that great. It works out to around $50 for every year u work so a 30 year civilian is looking at maybe $1500 a month before taxes..
Reading some of these post on here I am sure some of you will come up and say that the Coast Guard does not deserve to be able to use the campgrounds either.
If you are upset with your benefits being changed or taken away Vote!!!!!!! And speak up.
Happy Camping
A big thank you from a 33 year DOD (Navy) civilian - NOT A CONTRACTOR, who has spent a lot of time on Aircraft Carriers, Submarines, Destroyers, LPDs, LPHs, P-3s P-8s etc.
For those wondering, the pension is 1.1% of your high 3 average salary for each creditable year of service if you retire at age 62 or older. And contrary to popular belief, we do not get housing allowances unless we are on TDY, where we get per diem. At that point, we are required to fly out and back and must stay at a hotel within per diem. and usually one chosen by the Defense Travel System. The Famcamps are not an option.
