Jayg Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 they are good to have aren't they I had one since I was a child my step father was retired Air Force I then spent almost 10 years active then NG then activated for GW1 and now P&T I found out how much I missed not having that card in my wallet people that have never had one don't have a clue as to what they have missed out on a military base is a full city auto shops wood shops vacation centers everything most people could want.....and the camaraderie of the people on the base a mutual respect for everyone there from the privates to the officers and to the family members and even the civilian employees that make it all work it's a huge functional family Congratulations! I too am 80%/IU P&T. I just got my letter a few weeks ago. "auto shops wood shops vacation centers" Wow! I never thought about that stuff. re "wood shops," do you mean like craft shops for the troops or shops for military use? Frequently you can get many things made at craft shops just for the cost of materials. Give them decent plans of what you want built and as long as it is w/in capabilities of the crafters, they'll do the labor just for the experience. If I may ask this question w/out usurping this thread- Exactly how does one apply for these military privilege cards? I'm only about an hour from Barksdale AFB. That should beat most Army bases all hollow. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should beat most Army bases all hollow. ;) DOD form 2765 Identification and Privilege Card ("tan card"). Send an IRIS to your local VA Regional Office (I guess Waco, for you, yes?). Give them your claim# and tell them you want the letter to get your Dept of Defense Form 2765 cards. Take the letter from the VA to Barksdale, along with the wife/kids and their civilian id's (driver's license, ssa card, etc.) To the main gate at Barksdale they will direct you to the "visitor's center" (it's right there at the gate, if I remember correctly), try to go on a weekday, less busy, tell the Sarge what you want, they'll take the photos and process your cards right then and there. While you are at it, take your vehicle title and your proof of liability insurance for your card and they will issue your vehicle sticker, if you have more than one vehicle, take all your vehicles' info. If you don't do this, then YOU will have YOUR "admission card" but you'll be standing at the gate, looking at a long walk to the PX/BX without your car. Enjoy your benefits. WE do. BTW, if they are anything like Navy Ft. Worth, take a couple of coolers along with you, great buys on beef. "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted December 19, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 19, 2009 For the Kids, make sure you take the birth certificates. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
