HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted October 25, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 25, 2008 Ts, I went to this site: http://www.spacea.net/faq.html#eligibility There are several aditional sites that provide excellent Information. J, What are you quoting from? Please provide a link to the information you cited. Is there any other advantage you can think of that would warrant a trip to another state 2+ hours away to change out the color of my ID card other than lodging and Space A travel? I no longer live near a military installation or reserve unit that issues ID cards and it was a major fiasco (two trips, had to produce promotion orders from 20 years ago - who says being a pack rat is a bad thing? nobody who's ever had a VA claim, that's for sure) to get the one I have.

tssnave Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) J, Thanks for the link. However, after checking my ID card and my spouse's ID card, I am confused. I am 100% SC and am not military retired. Earlier this year I was issued the DD Form 2765 ID card and my spouse was issued the DD Form 1173 ID card. However, BOTH ID cards are the buff/butterscotch colored card. They are the identical color though they have different form numbers on them. They also have different info on the cards. We are both authorized patrons for Exchange, MWR, and Commissary. On the back in the "Medical" square it has the following: DIRECT: NO CIVILIAN: NO So, here are my questions: 1. Is there another color ID card on the DD Form 2765 other than the buff/butterscotch? 2. What does "MWR" mean that we're autorized to use? 3. I do not believe we are authorized to use Tricare - just the VA and CHAMPVA. Is this your understanding as well? The main reason I got the cards was to make sure my spouse had one if I died. Also, I figured as a disabled vet that most hotel chains would accept this for the military/government discount and we do travel, though seldom, to visit family. Thanks, TS Edited October 25, 2008 by tssnave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
