Yes, I learned something new by exploring the webpages about it, USO website has information about the BWI Center at
http://www.usometrodc.org/location.php?p=13
The airport website also has information on the USO Center.
It looks like if a person has a military ID (which includes retirees and dependents of active duty and retirees) they can access the USO lounges. They are located in a number of airports, see the map and location information at

This information could be useful to any person with a military ID, particularly someone who is disabled like my husband. I found a lot of resources by researching my own question and I never knew that even I could use these facilities. They are an alternative to airline lounges, to escape the hubbub of waiting areas in airports. I don't fly enough anymore to warrant membership in the Presidents Club or others.
Sorry I've drifted off-topic, but I like to share information. Thanks again.
