A military base is any facility that is directly owned and operated by or for the military. It may be used to shelter military equipment and personnel, or to facilitate training and operations.
While military bases are not always self-sufficient, many often are. This means that they normally have an on-site hospital where, among other things, the babies of military personnel are born.
Being born on a military base is not very common, but there are in fact a few celebs who came into the world in this peculiar way.
Check out this gallery to see which celebs were born on a military base.
