I seem to recall that several years ago, AOPA Pilot carried an article

to land at some Air Force and Navy fields, and even stay at the BOQ.

Doesn't anyone else recall that?

After retiring from the Navy, my Dad took a job flying for Transamerica.
Since we lived in the Bay Area, and his flights originated in San Diego,
he'd drive up to Travis AFB and dead head down to North Island, where he
would stay at the BOQ. He retired from all that in the mid 80s, so I
don't know if that's an option anymore.
