I'm not sure anymore. The process might be the same however storage might be another problem for her. Could be that will have to go thru the SP's.One of my students lives on base at Hanscom,
Are there different rules for where she applies for her LTC?
Did your student change her address of record to the address at Hanscom? If not, what is her address of record? Like, when I was in, I was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC, but my address of record was my mother's house in MA, so for all intents and purposes, my address was still MA even though I was living in NC.
Found this article that may help:
State of Legal Residence vs. Home of Record
When talking with military families about taxes and residences and drivers' licenses, one little thing keeps coming up: the misuse of the term home of record.www.military.com
Dunno man, seems like a can of worms there, from Wiki:
"Hanscom Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base located predominantly within Bedford, Massachusetts, with portions extending into the adjoining towns of Lincoln, Concord and Lexington. "
Does she have a Mass driver's license? I'd think she'd need that at least to get the process started and that should have an address associated with it.
The air Force has downsized substantially over the last 10 years. There is plenty of unused housing on air bases. In fact hanscom has offered base housing to reservists the last few years. It's not free....because they are not active duty......but I know a couple of national guard soldiers that have lived on hanscom base housing. I'm sure they'd offer it to contractors as well.Seems odd that a contractor lives on base- contractors (and civilian government employees) don't normally get base housing, unless they are on an overseas base.
He said she's a contractor not military.I would expect that her PCS orders is all he would need for residency.
I would suggest she stops in to the PD and asks. I’m sure he isn’t the first.
She also needs to review the commands policy on weapons.

Base Housing is now managed under a civilian contractor for DOD and has a list of priority starting with active duty and going all they way to civilians. The residents now pay rent with their BAH.The air Force has downsized substantially over the last 10 years. There is plenty of unused housing on air bases.

Gone are the days when the military took care of itself......it's mostly contractors now for installation support. My uncle did 27 years in the USAF and the last 20 of it was installation support. Mostly grounds keeping and such. He loved it. He retired in the late 80s though and ended up working for a contractor at Little Rock for a few years after he retired from active duty.......doing basically the same job he did the day he retired......managing the groundskeeping.Base Housing is now managed under a civilian contractor for DOD and has a list of priority starting with active duty and going all they way to civilians.

Don't believe that for a second, your on a military installation with a whole set of different rules.What’s she got?
Gate guards can and will randomly search the car going through, but unless they find something to generate an arrest (drugs, active warrant, etc) they can’t search the driver’s person.
If it’s only a handgun, concealed is concealed. If several or a long gun, then you need to pay attention to rules
