The tours are filled on a first-come first-serve basis and the tour set for this coming Friday is full, but the Guard will hold them nearly every Friday except Sept. 3, prior to Labor Day until Sept. 24. Then officials will evaluate the frequency of the tours depending on demand.

JOINT BASE CAPE COD A number of questions and concerns remained unanswered about a proposed multipurpose machine-gun range after activists, community members and elected officials joined in a virtual meeting Thursday evening.
After listening to the presentations, Rosemary Dreger Carey said she had hoped the facts might be different or that her feelings toward the project would change.
“Sorry, they really haven’t,” Cary said, who added that she is not against Joint Base Cape Cod for training but against the machine-gun range being placed in an environmentally protected area.
“We’ve seen this rodeo before and don’t want to see past mistakes,” Cary continued. “We encourage folks to stay engaged with this issue.”
