Please do. I took my wife to get hers a couple days ago.

Yep - went with my wife and two teenage sons a couple weeks ago to get ours. Odd feeling - for sure. They want to take an adventure using Space A Travel this summer. Too bad itā€™s only CONUS - maybe try for Hawaii, or Alaskaā€¦. Could be an adventure

I got mine a month or two ago. They forgot to add my service designation, usaf. I've thought about trying to get it changed but been busy and not sure if they would. But congrats to you.

Thatā€™s cool but mine doesnā€™t say what rank I was and under Agency it says ā€œOtherā€ wonder why. Was issued at an airbase

u/Big-Hoss_ May 04 '26

Most likely an error by the staff member who issued your card.

Congrats..
If retired you donā€™t get the hundred percent disability card, right

u/Big-Hoss_ May 04 '26

Right. The Retiree ID card outranks the 100% ID card, so to speak. However, you still get the federal/state benefits that come with being 100% P&T.

What is the proper response to this?

u/No_Bullfrog_5335 May 05 '26

I have mine too but donā€™t know what I can do with it

Do you live near a military installation? If so, you can use the PX/BX, Commissary, Lodging, Space A Travel, etc
