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

Maybe you can tell me who are all the guys that stay in FAMCAMPS that work for DOD and stay instead of housing ... they are certainly civilian, and go in and work at the base every day, come back every night ... and when I ask, 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.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you 100%. I imagine they are contractors, but DOD civilians (non-contractors) should NEVER be doing that. The FAMCAMPS are meant for recreation, not cheap housing. A DOD civilian, when on TDY, is only reimbursed the actual cost of the lodging. There is no financial benefit for them to be staying in a campground instead of a hotel. Contractors are often given a set amount of money for per-diem to cover both food and lodging. In that case; they could be pocketing the difference. What gets me is assuming they are contractors, how are they getting access to the campgrounds? That is just plain wrong, and your anger is justified.
