Not quite sure where you reside but there are four mil fields within ten minutes flying time of me.
I often fly out of the Bay Area, Travis is the nearest military field, frankly a bit far, why would I go to Travis if I have 6 other airports much closer with various precision/non-precision approaches. Plus frankly I doubt Travis would just offer me PAR on a silver plate, I would probably have to declare some sort of emergency. While in PPL training my instructor explained to me that Travis would be strictly emergency airport for me, yes it has a very long nice runway but so does SFO or OAK Intl. When I fly out of Paso I would have no clear choice as to a moderately convenient military airfield.
