MATZ penetration and communication with a military airfield

Hello everyone.

As a PPL I am ashamed to say I have never contacted a military airfield.
For my next flight I decided to contact Wattisham and try to obtain a clearance to turn at their overhead.
I know that they can be very useful, and that obtaining a clearance for a MATZ penetration is a regular thing, but is a clearance to enter their ATZ even obtainable? Should I ask for something other than a 'MATZ penetration' when I give them a call to clarify that I want to turn overhead?
Are there militry airfields that would not let you go through their zone?

Hope that's clear.
Thank you
