Dod id cards

[mdscott]

My wife and I have had our DOD clearance for about a year now. We do not have any type if ID saying we have that or a picture ID. The co we r with says that the govt is not issuing CATCARDS any more. Has anyone else run into that problem. It would sure be a lot easier showing an ID than having to be searched and checked everytime we go on a base.
Thanks a lot.

MDScott, I will give you a little different perspective...
Cat cards are the result of a 2006 Executive Order and also require readers at secure facilities and sub facilities. I am a Contract Background Investigator and although was aware of the order, just received mine. I spend all day on secure sites so it would be safe to assume they are a little behind. The program is now called USA Access and they have allot of sites that require a scheduled appointment online after receiving your email notification to schedule the appointment. Then you will go in and all of your Biometrics will be obtained. You will receive an additional notice to go and receive as well as activate your Cat Card. The facility I went to was run by the Department of Interior. Rest assured, the CAT Card will not eliminate the truck searches. I am credentialed and still get treated poorly at certain facilities.

i have no problem going on most of base's have my retired chief sticker and retired id card
still have to have van search at some and some not
and be on acess list usely good for 90 day's at a time
little creek base in norfolk requires you to be on acess list
or call and have a sponsor meet in truck control than come on base

at all military bases always have to go thought truck control
call ahead to find out what you need to get on base
also if it's friday you need to call to see if there going to be open as some take off early for the weekend
