All Service Connected Disabled Veterans Get Commissary Access in January

Starting in January, veterans with VA disability ratings of zero to 90 percent will be allowed to access on-base exchanges and commissaries, as well as some morale, wellness, and recreation facilities.  Those veterans must have a VA-issued Veteran Health Identification card to have access.

First visit
After acquiring a VHIC, veterans and caregivers must stop at the visitor center adjacent to the Sartain Gate for a one-time registration of their ID.

 
As with all other individuals seeking access to DOD installations, all eligible veterans must pass a basic on-the-spot background check prior to enrolling and an automated check each time they enter the installation. Veterans with felony convictions, felony arrest warrants, or other types of derogatory information related to criminal history or terrorism will not be permitted entry.
