Your military id is your passport. I am not sure how long or where you served. Whine, whine, whine. If you are interested in the job..go to the link and apply or inquire about it. If not why bother to make excuses?
If you are a VFW you have an id.
A retired veteran has an military id card. Are you concerned about paying for a passport? if so don’t bother to apply. How do you think sailors, marines, soldiers travel abroad? they have passports.

Now I know you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.

Headed for the border? Take your passport

For years, troops and civilians who visited Mexico, Canada, Bermuda and the Caribbean islands were exempt from presenting identity papers at U.S. borders and seaports.
Then, in January 2007, U.S. Customs and Border Protection began requiring passports for air arrivals from those nations.
Now, U.S. service members returning by land or sea from those nations need passports or other secure ID — passport cards, Enhanced Driver’s Licenses or “trusted traveler’’ cards — unless travelers are on certain exempt cruises. Military IDs and common access cards do not qualify, according to the State Department.
(If you are traveling with official orders and in uniform, your military ID will suffice. Some service members stationed near the Mexican border require command permission before crossing as civilians; check with your commanding officer before making a trip across the border.)

And only a retired veteran gets to keep their ID as they use it to get on base for the PX and other things available to them.

You even managed to contradict yourself in the same reply...

Your military id is your passport.

And yet...

How do you think sailors, marines, soldiers travel abroad? they have passports.

Amazing!
