This
review
is
of
the
non-military
aspects
of
the
station.
Very
nice
naval
base
in
an
excellent
location.
Very
good
facilities
(NEX,
Commissary,
etc.).
Scenic,
nicely
maintained
golf
course.
Obviously
not
up
to
Air
Force
base
standards,
but
definitely
in
the
top
quartile
of
Naval
facilities
(from
my
experience).
A
key
drawback
I
noted
was
the
Bard
Road
gate,
which
appears
to
be
permanently
closed.
This
has
the
effect
of
discouraging
physical
activity,
since
it
is
the
closest
pedestrian
gate
to
family
housing.
Consequently,
rather
than
providing
a
short
and
convenient
pedestrian
walkway
to
nearby
shops
and
restaurants
outside
the
gate,
residents
effectively
are
encouraged
to
drive
(yes,
yes,
budget
pressures,
security
concerns,
etc.,
aka
excuses).
Also,
it
would
be
nice
if
the
music
for
morning
colors
and
evening
taps
could
be
synced
a
little
better
(I
don’t
feel
that
so
many
separately
disparate
sound
broadcasts
are
really
necessary
for
effective
colors.
