Eligible veterans get easier access to military bases under new rules

New rules by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs simplify military base access for over 4 million veterans and their caregivers. Veterans with VA-documented service-connected disabilities (0%-90%), Purple Heart recipients, former POWs, and designated caregivers can enroll for recurring access using a VHIC or REAL ID. Enrollment requires a visit to the installation’s visitor center for identity verification and a background check. The changes aim to ease access to commissaries, exchanges, recreation facilities, and health care, with enrollment valid for 1-3 years. Read more at the link above!
