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.

This is true. These are topics far beyond the scope of this video.
@@jasonburds I thought the video was great and informative. Just a reminder to the 💯 club they have some extra benefits. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jason I have the service connected card with service connection on it , haven't used it yet❤
Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it

I have a Vhic but doesn’t say “Service related” is because I have not received a rating yet?
If you dontt have a rating, why would it say "service connected"?

I avoid the VA. Why would a veteran need base access? Maybe someone with a disability has access to the base exchange?
There are amenities worth using if you live close by. Gas, groceries, beaches, etc.

Do they expire?

No, a veteran can't use a VA ID card to get away from a crime.🤣
😂😂 when you put it like that...
