Re: VA announces rollout and application process for new Veterans ID Card

My saga to obtain a veteran's id card continues after more than 6 months. Finally after another photo and the uploading of a copy of my actual discharge certificate (the DD-214 showed only a transfer to Reserves), I may be getting close. What a system...

Update: The card arrived today! Only took 7 months. Besides the discharge copy, a DL copy was needed to add to the CHL copy. Weird.

The card is a strange format. It looks more like a disclaimer for veteran benefits and a promo for VA than an acknowledgement of someone having served. Ah well, nothing much makes sense anymore....

2nd update (3 days after 1st update): Funny, after almost giving up on ever getting a VID Card, I just received a second set! Ok, enough already...

By the way, there's a website called ID.me that can also provide veteran identification for online use (they call it "Troop ID" for the Marine Corps anyway) and they provide a long list of vendors that provide military discounts.
