You have to have military ID to enter, but the signs show you where to go, and the BX is really nice.

Graduation doesn't actually start until 9:00 am. Get there a little early because its hard to find a parking space. But you could just walk from the front gate.

There are many gates, and didn't know where to go. The graduation ceremony was very nice, but cold. We enjoyed seeing a lot of the base with our... More

This base is awesome! Went for a family member's graduation from BMT and thought...Wow...how clean and accommodating. Stayed on base the whole weekend and room service was good. Would stay again if I could.
