Fences, Strong Walls, Bunkers, Machine Guns Emplacements, and Barbed Wire. Chances are that there are soldiers and medics there.

Pros:
-Access to weapons and ammo.
-Highly defensible. May have trained soldiers there.
-Will have a means of communication with the outside world.
-Isolated low chance of many zombies getting there in mass amounts.
-Machine Gun emplacements can mow down large groups of zombies if your a good enough shot.

Cons:
-If infection have reached the base the soldiers will be infected and they wear kevlar helmets stopping bullets.
-Highly isolated with little chance of getting supplies.
-High risk of no way out once you get surrounded.

In the case of an outbreak, will you be allowing other survivors to join you here?
Yes for it would be a wise idea to keep many personnel there to help out with the defense.

Marsden I don't think a military base would be the ideal place to go. 10 Yesterday, 10:59 PM EST by Kadski

I must disagree with you on the military base matter. Firstly;
You said, "there would be access to weapons and ammo."
Trained soldiers would a)Probably not let civilians have the guns and b) if they happened to have retreated from the base trained soldiers probably wouldn't leave their guns behind.
Secondly;
You stated, "May have trained soldiers there."
What happens to you if the soldiers have bee given an order to shoot everything on sight eg. 28 weeks later, or if the soldiers have malicious intent 28 days later.
Thridly;
You stated, "Machine Gun emplacements can mow down large groups of zombies if your a good enough shot."
Need I remind you that you need to hit the brain to kill them. A machine gun doesn't have much accuracy control. I admit that you did say, "if your a good enough shot." But 99% of people couldn't fire 100 bullets into a horde and even score 20 head shots.
On a lighter note you made some good points relating to the infected soldiers wearing kelvar helmets.

A round from an AK can penetrate kevlar helmets and the body armor our troops wear, but I see your point about zombie marines

Military bases are the best, can be supplied by helicopters and/or planes, has multiple means of communication to other bases, huge amount of weaponory and ammo, and armored vehicles that would be hard to tip if we had to evacuate.
