Thanks! I stayed at Randolph a couple of times when flying in the Navy and the lodge was pretty nice. I'll see if they have a room available when I'm down there.
Since I'm traveling for leisure I don't think I can book until 60 days before. Anyone know if that rule is still intact? Or does it vary by service?
Used to live in SA back 2000-2002, but as civilian. Kelly AFB is no longer, closed during the base closings in 90's. It is now privatized and called Kelly USA. You have Air Force = Randolph AFB and Lackland AFB; and Army = Fort Sam Houston and Brooks Army Medical Center. I don't think BAMC has any housing though. SA overall is not too bad, just avoid east and west of downtown (ghetto and barrio areas). South of downtown helps if you speak Spanish, or what is more common "Spanglish". North of town or around downtown is good.
Since the downturn in the military spending and number of personnel, tourism is the big $ now for SA, and so they keep it nice for tourists.

And as a technicality, Kelly USA doesn't exist anymore either. It's now called "Port San Antonio".
Thanks for everyone's help. And if there is a "must see" thing in San Antonio, besides the Alamo, Riverwalk and Fiesta Texas, let me know!
