Just so I didn't miss anything earlier... you don't plan on carrying on base do you? I doubt if it would result in a court martial, but a quick administrative discharge would be in your future if you were caught on base with a firearm. But check into it at base security what their rules are. Also, any particular reason you need a CCW? Where do you plan on carrying? You don't need one to carry in your car, and you use it anywhere there are people around, like malls or bars or concerts, so why?

790.25 (5)(5) Lawful Ownership, Possession, and Use of Firearms and Other Weapons
It is not necessary to have a license or permit to carry a loaded firearm in a private vehicle, so long as the gun is "securely encased". Florida law defines a weapon as being securely encased if the firearm is in a glove compartment, whether or not locked, in a snapped holster (not worn on your body!), in a zippered gun case or in a box or other container that requires a lid or cover to be lifted or opened in order to gain access to the firearm. These restrictions do not apply to any person who holds a valid Florida Concealed Weapon License or a reciprocal state license/permit.
