The OLS is the typical VASI-type system I see at all the NAS/MCAS fields I've flown into. IIRC, they're generally set at about a 4 degree GS, and aren't coincident with the ILS GS.
Depends on what kind of field you fly into. All the jet training bases have full up IFLOLS on the duty landing runways, and FLOLS in the normally off-duty runways. We do a good portion of our FCLP's here at the field when the weather is questionable or when the sked dictates, not to mention that every landing we make (aside from on the road) is an FCLP type with the exception of a few practice precautionary approaches....so having the fresnel lens is a requirement for us. Most of the other tacair type fields I have been to have them as well, including NAF El Centro, NAS Lemoore, and I'd assume Oceana as well (though I haven't been there). Corpus only had VASI type lights on the long runway and no fresnel lens. I'd imagine that bases with typically rotary or maritime traffic most likely don't have them either.
As for GS, I know Meridian has a 3.0 while El Centro was a little more unusual at a 2.5.
