It's easier for a CO to say no than yes. If something happens off base, a base CO doesn't have to worry about it. He can say, "I don't allow that kind of crap at my club." Of course, that's because it's only open for lunch, Fri 16-1800, and alternating Wednesdays with full moons. If he were to say, "Party on, just keep it at the club," and something happpened, then there's hell to pay.
Same principle for squadrons. It's always easier to ratchet down harder and harder or discourage drinking altogether than to encourage comraderie.

It's at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

Hell to the damn yeah...
I would've liked to have seen TJ's brought back as a full-service bar adjacent to the NMNA - a la the Cubi Point - and I heard that was the plan at one point.
Still...better than nothing.

Really?
In any case, what was proposed (so I heard, for what it's worth) was either an on-site Museum expansion, or an "annex" of the Museum at the waterfront park downtown (so, not far from TJ's original site). When it closed the family donated the memorabilia to the Museum, at any rate.
I guess that's so. I imagine some convoluted discussions behind the scenes. But they did open that Space Camp-style thing not long ago.
Biggest problem it caused when I was instructing there was all the newly-reporting ensigns thinking the "Authorized Personnel Only Past This Point" signs applied to them, and calling the quarterdeck in a panic because they couldn't figure out how to get to NASC.
Yeah? got some behind the scenes from a buddy who was on the Chattanooga investigation, that was a shit show. wrt nat flight academy, haven't really gotten that perception of it but haven't really paid close attention- my kids have done some stuff over there that they seemed to like. nice facility we occasionally use for this or that...
Is the Air Force Museum actually on Wright-Pat, or off-base?
It is on AF property on an "Annex" to WPAFB. You don't have to go through any base gate to get to the museum.
Museum in the foreground of this pic, and main base in the background.
