Here is a bit more sophisticated article about the same directive:

allow Department of Defense (D0D) personnel to carry firearms and employ deadly force while performing official duties.

It's not enough. Should read "allow Department of Defense (D0D) personnel to carry firearms and employ deadly force at all times."

Note the period there. It's important. Kind of like the words "shall not be infringed" in the Second Amendment.

President Trump isn’t even in office, and he’s already keeping his word and making us more free.

This is great! We have a one-mile connector on Fort Huachuca between two trails and I have to unload my gun to transit that connector and just hope an armed illegal or a Javelina doesn’t happen by in at one-mile.

Everybody had their own guns when I was in the dorms.

I have no idea when it changed. Out by 1989.

It’s a good first step. It should read “at all times”, and it should extend to military, civilian and contractor employees, and to families living aboard the base.

He takes office in two months and his agenda is already being implemented. He’ll probably go down in history as the greatest leader of a nation.

Yep.

And I’ll even more happy when retired military folks can carry on base.

I hope not. To be noticed as a “greatest leader” he will need to preside over a terrible, existential crisis, like Washington, Lincoln, or Franklin Roosevelt.

Reagan came close with the Cold War.

We do not want such a crises. We may get it, but we do not want it. Trump will be a better leader if we can avoid such a crises, but he will not get the credit of a wartime leader.
