What's Changing?

Sponsors can request card renewals online through ID Card Office Online. Cards will be printed by the Government Publishing Office and mailed to the card recipient via U.S. mail.

Requirements

Sponsor may be a Common Access Card (CAC) holder or a DoD Self-service Logon credential holder and requesting a renewal of an active USID card.

The Sponsor and the card recipient must have email addresses listed in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) that they have authorized DoD to use for contacting them.

Authorization to use email for official contact can be made under "My Profile" on the IDCO website ID Card Office Online.

The Sponsor's personnel status must extend at least 30 days in the future from the renewal request date.

The card recipient has a photo saved in DEERS taken in the last 12 years.

The card recipient's mailing address is present in DEERS and in the continental United States, Hawaii, or Alaska; or is an APO, FPO or DPO address outside the continental United States (OCONUS).

Ah, the sounds of the Boo-Birds in chorus with the Cee-Birds.

[Alas Babylon!]

My experience getting a new ID wasn’t hard at all. So several others have also stated.

I don’t doubt it was a pita for you, but it shouldn’t be for anyone, nor is it a pita for everyone.

"my Korean American girlfriend and I went to the ROK to visit her family. She told me that she always wanted to see a PX"

Take her to a Target that doesn't have a grocery store. Tell her it's just like a PX but with lower prices.

Did you get resolution on visiting the base for courts martial?

[Gay State Conservative]

My memories of the PX are from 50 years ago. I remember my civilian buddies always hounding me to buy smokes for them when they were 25c a pack.

As for courts martial...not yet. I left a message at some JAG office staffer in Groton but haven't heard back. I should check to see the trial dockets for the Navy (Groton) and the Air Force (Hanscom). Neither base holds them often but I'll keep trying.
