monkey44 , I was stationed at Ft. Meade when I was in the army but that was back in the 1960’s; it seems you are saying that the famcamp there is frequently full due to active military staying there? Maybe I misunderstood.
Frankly, I applaud active military who can find legitimate ways to supplement their meager income. I think our tax base is high, and our national budget in the tank, due to millionaire politicians who waste millions, and even billions, of tax payer money.
I have had City, County, State, and Federal jobs, and have personally seen the huge amount of financial waste that takes place on every level with no regard whatsoever where the money comes from. Most public budgets are based on the principle that you have got to spend all the money in your budget in order to justify the need for receiving more money.
