Michael Reyes, Physical Security Specialist, Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, amplified on the procedure described in the above media release.
“After registering their VA health card with Pass and ID, the veteran will become a ‘trusted travel agent’ and will be able to bring their spouse and immediate family as well,” he said.
Caregivers for the veteran have a slightly different procedure to get aboard base.
“They must have a new VA issued caregiver letter indicating they’re taking care of that veteran,” Reyes continued. “That letter must be with them, and if they are with the veteran, they just display that letter at the gate. If they’re shopping for the veteran on their own, then they must go to Pass and ID and receive a day pass to get aboard base.”
REAL ID California Driver License
Beginning January 22, 2018, the California Department of Motor Vehicles has offered REAL ID compliant driver licenses and identification cards. As mandated by the REAL ID Act of 2005, a REAL ID, U.S. Passport or military ID will be required by the federal government to board domestic flights, or to access some federal facilities starting on October 1, 2020.
Reyes said the REAL ID can also be used to gain entrance to military installations.
“Once someone has the REAL ID, and they have legitimate business aboard base, they have to have it registered at Pass and ID,” Reyes said. “Once it is entered into the (Defense Biometric Identification System),” Reyes said, “their license is then scanned by the police officer at the gate to get aboard base.”
