Welcome Holly,
My wife and I spent a great 3 month TDY at Tyndall AFB many, many years ago.
At that time there was a great little bay, on base but away from everything
where we used to find little dwarf seahorses. When we went back for a visit
a few years back it was gone as the access was closed. Have fun, it's a
great area and some day when you are feeling wealthy you need to take a
quick drive to Eglin and hit Ed Schelling's place.
