yep, I was thinking that's the case since MOST families that come would stay on base if available. Remembered the very first time my family came to visit, they didn't know I got married (the first time) and I was living off base. Were they surprised LOL. Guess they should have written me to say they were coming instead of those spur of the moment things I like doing. They didn't have a phone and I'm notorious for not writing (unless forced to). It was interesting to say when they finally found out where I was living and then meeting my crazy b*tch (well she turned out to be a b*tch) wife for the first time LOL. Got rid of her after 5 yrs (she made it easy for me). Kinda like me when I came home from nam, hitchhiked the 20 miles to where we USED to live at only to find nobody there, so had to hoof it another 5 miles to the schoolhouse to ask the janitor where everybody went. Least he was kind enough to drive me another 20 miles to the new stomping grounds. Yep, interesting days/years back then.
