Well there is your problem.
Why should a non active duty or non retiree have access to a military base?
I would work through a veterans group and see if a letter of access from the command be allowed to children of veterans interned at a military cemetery some sort of limited access.
Well...I haven't seen much of a change in military facilities up and down the East Coast for the last 15 years or so...with and without admitting civilian guests.
Haven't dealt with funerals so that may be a trigger....but its not all that different in facilities that haven't had national level attention due to shooting sprees either.
But typical military...what happens at one facility affects others too.
Heck, I kidded my girlfriend entering Navy Mayport, from now on just put a pizza delivery sign on her roof and she would get waved through no problem....
OK...but getting to non secure places on bases seem to be nowhere near the problem you are making it out to be.
Some reservations, you can get to non secure areas....commisaries, exchanges, morale areas without even going through a gate.
I was security officer for a couple USCG installations, one during the first gulf War where terrorism threats were highly elevated...even then my recommendations were downplayed except for aviation ramp areas and ship berthing areas.
Some military MWR facilities I have utilized and others by friends still come highly rated for enjoyment.
He was previously allowed, and the policy was suddenly changed. I sucked for him.
