Very informative thread.

Is it only active military and veterans that can stay at the forts overnight?

If you're on duty you can stay for free, but as long as you're in the service you can stay on post. I know immediate family can as well, but I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with extended family because I don't want to look it up. I believe you have to make reservations.

It depends on the installation and if you're talking about staying at lodging or at someone's house. I'm sure that there are more reasons, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
We actually lived off base, in one of the many suburbs of south Augusta that exist for military personnel, but I went to church on base, went to youth group activities on base, did grocery shopping at the commissary, did clothing shopping at the PX, did computer camps and 4-H and Girl Scouts on base, all my friends were also from military families and some of them did actually live on base, and since my dad still worked on base... we might as well have also lived on base as well. Oh, and I went to the same middle school as the kids from base (although they went to different elementary and high schools.)

Well, if you live off base, you can possibly benefit from whatever maybe left over from your BAH. That's the biggest benefit. Then you have nicer houses and privacy until everyone "finds the 'good' neighborhood". The really only good benefit of living on post is convenience. Shorter drive to work, school PX, commissary, etc., especially if you have a family. Other than that, it's better to live off post IMO.
