Most times the ole Mil. ID card will get you the hook ups. The Mil. gets all kinds of special privileges all the time like getting to buy resident hunting tags or fishing licenses.
I was in the Army so I don't know the Air force Regs. or their stance on it. You will just have to ask when you get to your station or look in Rec. Info Center is all I can think of.
