Outstanding work!
Wanted to give you a little correction. Naval Support Activity Mid-South is actually about 7.5 miles northeast of where you marked it (that's the Memphis DuPont chemical plant at US-51 and Fite Road). NAVSUPPACT is the large, developed area south of Navy Road at approximately 35°20'04" N, 89°52'20" W with street names like Oriskany, Tarawa, Ticonderoga, Essex, Hornet, etc. . . . all ship names.
Prior to the Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommendation in '93, the former NAS Millington also included the airfield to the north of Navy Road.

Someone did have a complete list of many military installations around the globe, especially United States, but I guess they deleted them. So, I take their place in providing you a list of military bases. 
Each year the Times newspapers (Army Time, Navy Times, Air Force Times) publishes a complete listing of military bases (non classified of course) around the world.
With so many bases closing each year, it's really hard to keep up. Therefore I propose that we do a collective project and mark bases that are no longer active as well as the active ones. I for one have been retired for 25 years now and there's only one base left in the States that I served on that's still active - Fort Lewis. Everything else has been closed. Same for overseas, most of my assigned bases are no longer active. By marking them anyway, old school soldiers like myself, can locate our old installations - over a bottle of Yellow Dog of course. Now I need to learn how I can mark bases and other objects so they show up in everyone's Google Earth.

What you have labeled as the Charleston Naval Weapons Station Nuclear Sub Base is actually the Nuclear Power Training Unit (NPTU), Charleston, SC. These are two Moored Training Ships (MTS). The two subs are decommissioned and now just used for training purposes. There is another NPTU at Ballston Spa, NY.

Researchers from US universities, NGOs Transnational Institute and Fellowship of Reconciliation have used official sources, security websites, and private research to map more than 800 bases in more than 60 countries. The US has by far the largest number of bases, but French, British, German, Russian, as well as joint international bases such as NATO and EUFOR bases have all been mapped.
Check out http://www.tni.org/militarybases where you can download the KMZ file and add your comments to help improve the map.
The resulting Google Earth programme is a striking visualisation of the extent to which foreign military bases in the 21st Century reach right across the globe. It also points to why there is growing community resistance against military bases from Greenland to French Polynesia, Paraguay to Korea, which has crystallised into a powerful global movement (www.no-bases.org). A report, Outposts of Empire: The case against foreign military bases, by TNI in March 2007 (http://www.tni.org/detail_pub.phtml?know_id=60&menu=) revealed that foreign bases are not just used for launching controversial wars like the invasion of Iraq but also have devastating impacts on local communities, including damage to their health, economies and their environment.
For security reasons, countries often do not provide detailed information on the exact locations of their foreign military bases and installations. As a result, the map is still far from complete. However it is hoped that the map will evolve and improve in the coming months with the help of activist and researcher’s inputs from all over the globe. Help us improve and expand the map by checking the position of a base near you and send us a mail with corrections or additions using this form (http://www.tni.org/militarybases)
Amsterdam, August 28,2007
Citations: The project of mapping bases was initiated by John Lindsay-Poland, Ethan Flad and Brian McAdoo expanding on map work pioneered by Zoltan Grossman at Evergreen State College in Washington (See Fellowship magazine, Winter 2007 issue (Vol. 73, no. 1-3, www.forusa.org). The work was built on by TNI intern, Lena Strunk using data which is cited for each base.

Did you ever stop to think they may have deleted them for a reason? Say...national security mabey? Some things should probably be kept secret....before we lose the privilege of this wonderful Google Earth. .....Just a thought.....

Your placemark for Ovda Airbase/Int'l Airport in Israel is actually Aqaba King Hussein International Airport in Jordan! Ovda is 23 miles NNW and has several placemarks already - but it would be good to correct your database.
