Don’t forget if you’re 100% disabled you need to get your cac from a rapids ID office. You can get on base, book accommodations, take space a flights, and more.
Great video, Jason. Have you gained base access with the card? I actually went into a local VA clinic to get my picture taken for the card and the administrator said I need a service connected disability to gain access - which I am applying for - then they would send me another card with that indication. Wondering if you had a different experience.
Hey Gus! Thanks! This is true, technically you need at least a 0% rating to be eligible for this card and the associated benefits. I no longer live near a base, so I haven't been able to test out the base access component yet. Perhaps next time I'm in SD.
Depends on the base for sure, but if you’re a retiree living near a major installation, it can be nice to buy discounted liquor at the Class Six or groceries tax free.
