"U.S. military installations are no longer allowing visitors to gain base access using official ID cards from five states -- and other installations may soon follow.
State-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards from Illinois, New Mexico, Missouri, Washington and Minnesota can no longer be used to obtain a visitor’s pass because those cards don’t comply with federal standards, officials said. DoD officials did not say whether or not enhanced driver's licenses (EDL) from Minnesota or Washington would still be accepted.
~~
Accepted forms of identification for granting a base visitor’s pass include a U.S. passport, any official ID card from any of the compliant states, Native American tribal documents and any Defense Department or federal ID card. VA identification cards, however, are not accepted, officials said."
What I find the most unusual and disturbing is that they will not accept the VA Issued ID Cards.
I'm sorry, but the VA IS a government entity, and if they have issued you an ID, your identity is confirmed. If they are NOT going to accept the VA Issued ID, then they need to reissue you and MIL ID.
