I don' t know about the Navy or NR, but I do know a bit about the army/ARNG.

I was in the Alaska NG while I was with the Anchorage Police department. I carried everywhere, On and Off Post in uniform. On Ft Richardson, EAFB, Wainwright, Greeley, etc.

There was no problem, but as far as Anchoorage/Ft Richardson/EAFB... we had joint juristriction, so that may have had something to do with it, also Alaska had a state law saying we (LEO) were suppose to carry off duty.

That's just one state. However, when my son graduated from basic at Ft Knox I got a letter from the Post Commander regarding rules/regs when family members attending graduation. The letter said, unless you're LE (regardless where) you weren't allowed to carry on base. I didn't go but it would have been legal to carry on Ft Knox if I did.

All post are different, the post commander is the one who sets the rules for his post.
