they say "DOD, we stay here because it saves money ... and admit they get allowance, and it's way more than a FC site. And they stay a lot longer than the 30 or 60 limit too.
I've never heard of a GS FTE position which authorized any allowance for housing except for overseas bases with a local COL adjustment.
Those really sound like contractors, not DOD Civilian employees.
As you mention - a base CO has a lot of discretion over who can stay at base sites. I have not been shy about letting the CO know when I feel that regular authorized personnel are being shut out due to allowing the FC to become semi-permanent housing.
It's one thing for someone on a 6 month TDY to stay in the FC (at a very reduced per diem). Completely another for a retiree or base worker (FTE or contractor) to setup the FC as their permanent home.
