IE, high ranking officers. Captains, Commodores, Admirals. Maybe those senior officers with large families.
Junior officers can afford a small Japanese house to themselves off base because OHA (Overseas Housing Allowance) is so high. When I go to Yokosuka on orders I stay in BOQ (Bachelor Officer Quarters) which are like a fairly nice hotel room with a living space, kitchen, and bedroom. No firearms allowed there.
Civilian contractors tend to live off base in apartments or row houses.
Enlisted tend to room together off base, or live in the barracks or BEQ (Bachelor Enlisted Quarters).
Short answer is: no.
