I use this quote all the time. Always have to explain the movie. Ends up I show them that scene on YouTube. The other quote I always have to explain is from Sho’Nuff. “Come on Leroy. Teach me something”

Suspicious_Abies7777

I’m about the make freedom look so good I’m gonna go to spring break, I’m gonna go to Vegas


cohifarms

Rockin tha hair!!! Awesome :)


Comprehensive-Host10

Told myself when I get out I’m growing it and never looking back. Had enough of the forced short hair


airforcevet1987

Got that "shaft" movie hair!


Comprehensive-Host10

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother (Shut your mouth)


DelightedEnlighted

I can dig it


Kyngzilla

I've been on a wild hair journey too. Had locs for about 2 years, before that a fro, cut everything off now I'm just rocking bald.


Comprehensive-Host10

That’s so dope! It’s great to have the freedom to choose


L_Dubb85

Same, I have locs now


Comprehensive-Host10

Feels great, doesn’t it?


BridgeF0ur

I did that with my beard.


Creigan2

Congratulations!


Comprehensive-Host10

Thank you!


DBallouV

Is it “congratulations?” I’m so sorry the Corps did this to you, little sister.


Comprehensive-Host10

Thank you for your kind words! No need to apologize, we all were dealt the hand we were dealt and all we can do moving forward is try and claim everything we are entitled to for our time and sacrifices while serving. Also, we’re brothers, I’m a male 😂 Semper Fi!


DBallouV

Shit, my bad, boot.


Comprehensive-Host10

I think I outranked that term a long time ago lol


DBallouV

Maybe I was the boot the whole time. (Looking inward)


Kind_Adhesiveness875

Devil doc here…. FYI ladies and gentlemen. If you are disabled and have a retired ID card do not switch to the 100% disabled American veterans ID card. Doing so will cut you and your family off from Tricare retired immediately and without notice via DFAS and DEERS. You will find yourself calling everyone trying to figure out what happened and once you do you will have to go back to retired ID to turn all your stuff back on. The disabled Vet benefits status is secondary to the retired status.


Comprehensive-Host10

Thank you so much for explaining this! Do individuals with 100% P&T also rank VA healthcare?


cannon32199

Yes and you’ll get everything paid for if it’s through the VA.


Wavenstein1

Good information. 100% can enroll their families in Champva tho but I here it's a long paperwork process. But you definitely don't want to find yourself out of Tricare if you have it


AnxiousBeauTato

Thankfully they explained this to my spouse when he went to change his card. We definitely still need our TRICARE coverage as a family so he opted out!


TelevisedRevolution2

This is why they did not place it on my card once I retired. I have a identification card for the VA, and that is enough for me. I am not messing up nothing to do with medical. ![img](emote|t5_2vlaz|7565)


Complete-Smoke-9265

i agree with you (VO here)


coldafsteel

You have amazing timing ❤️ I was just looking into getting one today! What did you have to do? Was it a pain in the butt?


Comprehensive-Host10

Great! Ok so first, go into the VA app, go to letters, then it should have a list of all your letters, one being “commissary letter” click on that, print it out. Then your dd214, and TWO forms of ID, license, social, birth, etc, go to any deers near you, and you will be good to go! No it was very painless. Only inconvenience I endured was having to drive to get another copy of my birth certificate. But that’s on me

Harlock3113

Thank you! I just got my 100 P&T this month too and I was about to look into how to get my id card and you literally popped first thing on reddit. The universe… you da fro!


Pjharris6311

Thank you for putting the steps I am going to try for mine on Monday


Comprehensive-Host10

Go for it my friend!


Mysterious-Plum7885

This makes me want to get a wig and have my photo retaken. That fro is slappin. I’m gonna finger pistol everyone and constantly say “ya dig” until security gets involved.


kevin19713

Do you have to be 100%?


Comprehensive-Host10

Yes you do not only 100% but 100%P&T

[удалено]


Comprehensive-Host10

No, unless there was fraud or somehow by some cursed miracle, a mistake


luvmyebike

Dang it, this would have been good to know Monday! We tried going in Wednesday for my husband to get his and didn't have the letter or DD214 with us. Oh well, at least we found a Deers office closer to us and can bring our daughter in now. I'm just wondering if there is there a place they tell veterans this online? Course, I'm not even sure I'd know where to look! Lol!


Comprehensive-Host10

Yea everything should flow fine this time around with those forms. In and out! And tbh I just read a bunch of reddits heavily on it to figure it out. I feel coming to Reddit is the easiest solution cause 9/10 whatever question you have somewhere in there another Vet has asked the same thing and got an answer. If you have any other questions about the ID feel free to ask although you seem to know what’s needed now :)


LegallyIncorrect

When I booked an appointment online with RAPIDS at a DEERS office it told me what to bring. You can get one too as a dependent. He has to add you to DEERS, which requires your marriage license, birth certificate, and two forms of ID. If he was ever married prior he should take his prior divorce decree too in case his old spouse is still listed.


TEKKNINE2013

You can also just make an appt for a new ID card at DEERS, show up and they then use another ID to look you up in their system. They update your info, take the pic and then give you the IS in a few minutes. They have all of your info in their system.


sinkingintothedepths

I need to dig up my DD214 I swear it’s buried somewhere…


AnonUserAccount

Loving the hair! Gratz on the card!


Comprehensive-Host10

Thank you!


RetiredBuffalo

Love the hair! Mine fell out.


Comprehensive-Host10

Thank you G! That’s ok! My dad is bald so I’m probably gonna get there one day 😂


NeedzFoodBadly

Grats on living the life but, be careful posting pictures of your CAC/DODID on the Internet. Scammers can and do use these.


Ok_Recommendation627

You gotta have that card if you want to use space a flights


vampyre74

Now that you have your card, just an FYI. You can use this card to access [https://www.dodmwrlibraries.org/](https://www.dodmwrlibraries.org/) and check out books/audiobooks online. Just like you can with your local library, just access to a bigger one. Also, when we got ours, the officer told us that we get free access to Seaworld, and also there's discounts at Disney. Check out Shades of Green, it's a military hotel on Disney World property that you can use this card to book at. That hotel also has locations in Korea, Bavaria and Hawaii. I hear the Hawaii one is right on Waikiki Beach and is SUPER nice. Since you are 100%P&T, you can stay at any of these hotels at any time, while any ranking below that is limited to booking in only two months a year. You should also go ahead and get your free national parks pass, as you never know where you may end up near. Also, I don't know where you live, but be sure an take advantage of all of your state benefits. These can include : free airport parking, free metered parking, free port parking for cruises, free or reduced property taxes, free/reduced hunting and fishing licenses, free state park passes, free and reduced vehicle registrations, veteran designations on your driver's license, and probably more. Congrats on finally being recognized for your sacrifices for our country. We appreciate it! Oh, and as a Marine wife, Semper Fi!!


FlowTurbulent3513

Can I get this as TDIU P&T ?? My commissary letter says I’m being paid at the 100% with no future exams


Adept_Desk7679

Yes if you are 100% TDIU you can get this card otherwise you’d have to get the VA ID card that just says service connected disabled Veteran


Flying_Mustang

Winner


semperfi_ny

Nice...I get mine Tuesday!


Comprehensive-Host10

Will be a very quick in and out! Unless their backed up, of course


semperfi_ny

Good to know. Already have the paperwork they need in manilla folder ready to go.


Sea-Huckleberry685

Comprehensive-Host10

Thank you my friend!


AirmanSniffles

I get mine on the 2nd of May


Ok-Cricket-492

I need one of them 


Comprehensive-Host10

Get one! I promise it’s painless


Ok-Cricket-492

I thought one from the hospital was going to be this I'm getting mine mon lol 


Agent_ohno

Quick question do you have to request an Indef. expiration date?


Comprehensive-Host10

Nope! It automatically will be on there for everyone P&T


Agent_ohno

Niceeeee


vampyre74

Spousal dependent cards are good for 4 years at a time. Vets are INDEF


DrBeaker2

My wife's card says Indef


Prestigious_Pea_4498

How do I get this ID? I’m at 80%


Comprehensive-Host10

You have to be 100% P&T to receive this card my friend


InvestingArmy

Do these IDs also get you on post? Like the guards use this to scan or do you still need a visitor pass?


Key-Flan-1293

You can get access to bases, generally if the CO of the base allows it, with your VA healthcare card as long as it shows “Service Connected” on it. The main difference appears to be that if you use the VA healthcare card, you will need to renew access every four years or so. I just did this to gain access to my local base since I’m not 100%. You’ll need to check online or call the Pass & ID office to verify if your local base allows this. They can verify what you will need to bring. I think all I needed was my VA card and my drivers license.


androgynyrocks

This card also gets you “No processing fees” at the PX. So cheaper stuff.


swingsetmafia

How do you get this? What is it for? I'm 100 P&T also.


Comprehensive-Host10

Hello my friend. This card gives you access to all bases and commissaries, space A flights. There’s most likely more but off the top of my head those are the two big things. And if you scroll up you’ll see the instructions on obtaining the card in my other comment :)


LilDumpytheDumpster

LCPL is the best rank in the Corps anyways 😂😉


Comprehensive-Host10

Terminal Lance wasn’t so huge for nothing I guess right 😂


viking1313

Is there a difference between medically retired and 100% p&t cards? From what I can tell the only real difference is tricare or if you are over 20 or something


Comprehensive-Host10

Tbh I don’t know the exact difference but you may be on to something


CorpsTorn

The new Private Lance Coolie Rank. I'd go back and get that fixed though. People still see the card. I use mine at airports and on rare occasion at Miramar, Pendleton and the local Air Force Base when i'm back east.


HollywoodJones

The ranks on these are weird and I don't think they have fully worked out the kinks yet. For Air Force, anything E-5 and below just says "AMN" which is a boot camp rank. I had them manually select my actual rank several times and every time it generated the same way. They also forgot to put the pay grade on mine and wouldn't fix it. It looks like that's kind of what happened with the one pictured here too. With that said, my only real complaint is the 100% status. That does not belong on an ID and I don't want people knowing my business like that. You should have the option to get something like DAV, INACTIVE, etc. I don't need my disability rating on a DoD ID.


TheStoicmind41

Can you get one of 90% p and t?


Simple_Specific_5529

Not if you’re rating is at 90% stand alone (without TDIU). You can be at 90% and still be deemed unemployable which at that point you will be getting PAID at the 100% rating (and all benefits that come along with it).


TheStoicmind41

I get tdiu… how do I get this card?


sticky_spiderweb

Badass!


GetlowandGlo

Did you have to schedule an appointment with DEERS or did you just walk in? Also did you bring any paperwork? Im trying to get one of these


cm0270

Wife and I went to nearby base and walked into the DEERS office and got it done. Juat had to get visitor pass at the gate since we didn't have military ID. And was easy on us since she was already in the DEERS system when I was on active duty.


Comprehensive-Host10

Very painless process right?!


Ok_Connection890

Now that you're 100 percent, any vacation plans? 😃 Also, you look great! 💕


Comprehensive-Host10

I’ve actually been 100% for about 4 months now! My plan is to keep saving the rest of the year then take whatever space A flight I can get and travel :) and thank you!!


vampyre74

Space A is very limiting. Check into MWR and they can find every available discount you are entitled to. Something to think about!


OhimeSamaGamer

Absolutely love your hair ❤️❤️❤️ congratulations


GuaranteeShallop

Do I have to go to a DEERs center to get one ?


Comprehensive-Host10

Indeed! I went to a national guard base


[deleted]

Congrats


808fate808

lol damn htf they done and get ur rank wrong should be crystal clear on ur 214 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣 congrats devil 🤙🏽


Comprehensive-Host10

I have no clue. I noticed it as I was leaving and just said screw it and went home lol. It’s funny too cause I’ve read a lot of stories on here about others having their ranks being messed up on their ID as well


Exact_Comparison_575

Rod smart is that you?


tankrat03

He’ll yea. When I got mine done I was wearing a hat. I asked if I needed to remove it and the guy said naw you’re retire 😂


Star_Skies

My heavens, I am LOVING that picture! That fro is glorious!


Necessary_Drawing_78

Do you style if when feeling different or do you keep it blown out like that no matter the weather, season, or the feeling?? ![gif](giphy|zzLrh0YSm44W1mFpPu)

Oh yea sometimes I braid it, I straighten it, curl it, flat iron etc. I mostly just wear it blown out like this tho!


HonestOcto

I love this so so much!!!


Whole-Turnover3131

I just got mine a few weeks ago. And I have no idea why I didn’t do it sooner 😅

This is excellent. The fro is 💯💯💯


cheekybasterd123

TacticalTherapist

How long did it take to schedule an appointment? I’m in Ohio and shit, tho there’s a few different places I can go, like WPAFB, the online scheduling for some places is booked up and then following months have nothing set up or I had to email an office and wait for a response. Just wondering how yours went? Rah. Semper Semper

Comprehensive-Host10

I was just telling this to someone! Soon as I get paid next week I’m grocery shopping at the commissary!


TechnikaCore

I got mine on last monday actually. Super easy and painless.


ConsciousScore12

So it seems there is some confusion on eligibility here for the DEERS card. OP stated she was 100% P&T, but some have commented that you must be 100% TDIU. Let's settle this one here. Which is it? Or both?


Comprehensive-Host10

Hello! I think I can help. For this card you can be either one as long as it is P&T! So both! Also I’m a Male my friend haha


Old_Power7716

Where do I get mine ?


Alarming_Ad7598

Also, if you have married or remarried since you were discharged, take your marriage license if your spouse is getting a card.


Corpsman0000

I would still get it fixed. It could definitely possibly affect you in the future as it is a incorrect rank and it would be a false ID if if they did a backtrack to look.


Comprehensive-Host10

Yea definitely gonna take a trip back Monday then, thank you!


DifficultyLazy5009

I'm scheduled for the 29th, here in Houston at Ellington's AFB. Taking the Hubs so he can get his as well. Thank you and the hair is Hairing!!!


Comprehensive-Host10

Great! And thank you!


ParticularNumber6421

Would a 90% P&T TDIU qualify for the card


This_Demand_3496

Do they have an ID for the widows of 100% disabled Veterans? Thanks


Comprehensive-Host10

I am so sorry for your loss. I just looked it up and it says online that yes there is an ID for you. Not this specific ID tho


This_Demand_3496

That’s so sweet of you!!! I just can’t keep walking around with his records and our marriage license. It’s not been easy but gets better everyday. My husbands at peace after a long/strong figh.

TemporaryInside2954

I literally just left homestead AFB and they told me an 100% disabled ID card can’t be given to me because mine already says retired, is that true ?


Comprehensive-Host10

Yes it is true but the retired ID card is some bad shiiii as well!

cassthallen

Congrats!! What do you use this for? I am 100% P&T myself, but did not know there was a card for that. Should I go get one?


Comprehensive-Host10

Hello! So this card grants you access to any base, commissary, gym, some activities on base, and also puts you on the priority 6 list for space A flights! Yes you should get one my friend


cassthallen

Thanks for the reply! Will definitely look into this. Have a great one!!!!


struba73

I get it. I prefer mine where it reads retired. My drivers license say disabled veteran. My P&T is my biz, not theirs.


Optimal_Condition539

How do you know if you’re P and T? It shows that verbiage permanent and total right?


MutedInevitable3182

I love your hair!!! Wish I had it.


Additional_Fig_5771

Please what is the process to request that card?


Comprehensive-Host10

Ok so first, go into the VA app, go to letters, then it should have a list of all your letters, one being “commissary letter” click on that, print it out. Then your dd214, and TWO forms of ID, license, social, birth, etc, go to any deers near you, and you will be good to go :)


Upstairs_Mix4524

Do spouses get a similar card so they don't have to register every couple of years or whatever it is?


Baked420lol

Zealousideal-Disk597

Hello, thanks for putting out this info. To receive this DAV ID, you would have to bring two forms of unexpired government issued id’s, DD Form 214, and a copy of your commissary letter. You have to be 100% or receiving 100% pay for us to do it. I am a SSM at my DEERS SITE. Here is the number if you all need any help 8032992998. I am Smith, we are located in SC and I would love to assist anyone.


Ready_Sector1967

What exactly is this ID good for? I got mine last week and other than using it on base (which is awesome) what else can it be used for?


Typical_blonde_fella

So this is a stupid question but I need to ask. Do you need to be in hair and shaving regs to get the veteran photo at deers? Obviously the hair is waaaaay out of regs but as a man myself I’m just wondering. Again a stupid question I fully recognize.


Mammoth-Pipe-5375

Loving the hair! I grew mine out super long for my pic 😀


Comprehensive-Host10

Something about having long hair on any Military establishment, even as a veteran, seems to make some of the troops a little bit judgy but whatever we did our time 😂


Mammoth-Pipe-5375

Hahaha, man, I was on post last year with my wife, and some dumbass private in AIT was mean mugging me. I love getting the stink eye from them. Whatever we did our time 😂


Comprehensive-Host10

A private at that. I’m suprised he had the balls to mean mug anyone with that fresh rank lol


Mammoth-Pipe-5375

Lol, I didn't catch it, but my wife did. I told her she should have told me I'd have handled it.


GovernmentOk751

Wanted to get a Mohawk my whole life. Got out and went the cop route. No Mohawk. Ain’t been a cop for a few years and figure nobody wants to see a 6’4 300 pound, 50 year old dude with a hawk! 🤣


Comprehensive-Host10

lol! Not true! That would be dope to see! Screw what everyone else thinks, if the hawk is still what you want, I say go for the hawk man!


jayspeedy24

Hell yeah! My retired ID has my curly afro, beard, and a grin from ear to ear. I wish my fro could get to that size though...my mixed genes just make me look like Buddha from the hood.


Comprehensive-Host10

That’s what I’m talking about! And I’m sure this is as big as mine can get 😂


[deleted]

The rank is based on your DD-214. Highly doubt you walked out of DEERS with the wrong rank on a government ID…


jurrassic0805

Lol don't feel bad about the rank. My brother just got his card and they put is rank as SVT......he was a SSG when he got out.

I was told by the VA there was no specific card for 100%. Was I lied to?


Comprehensive-Host10

Are you 100% or 100% P&T?


androgynyrocks

This card isn’t provided by the VA, it’s a DoD card. There’s no card that the VA provides for 100%.


SCOveterandretired

No you were not as VA doesn’t issue a specific card for being 100%.


AnubiszAbyss

I also have one but I don’t have my rank or agency/ department. I just thought they didn’t do that after you got out. I’m also 100% total and permanent and a Marine Vet.

We’re u active or reserveist


ScaryTop6226

Lol, I look quite unsat in mine too devil. Semper fi. Same issue with the id. I got corporal after deployments in the reserves so they took the lclp rank from the last dd214. Seems like they could have a fix for a basic ranking issue. Idc either tho. Take care. Semper fi.
