No. Folks can have firearms as long as they're registered.

Thank you for the clarification.

Only if you live in base housing or during hunting season. Even if you have a ccw you can’t carry at the office.

Was less restricted when we were in, but that was pre-9/11 era.
When we were at Norwich U. (military college in Vermont) every cadet could get an arms locker in the building housing the rifle and pistol range.
Upperclassmen could keep handguns in their room.

When I was active here i knew a few in base housing that didn’t register their guns with base security. I would imagine there are quite a few others as well. They really have no way of knowing unless you get searched while transporting them, neighbor reports, or in this case you shoot someone.
