I'm not pouting, really.

FWIW, there are actually three tan cards now.

DD Form 1173, "United States Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card," issued to active duty family members and military retirees and their dependents to designate medical benefits, and authorize access to commissary exchange and certain morale, welfare and recreation privileges. Also issued to certain other individuals with similar entitlements who do not fit into the criteria for the cards below.

DD Form 2764, "United States DoD/Uniformed Services Civilian Geneva Conventions Identification Card," will be issued to emergency essential DoD employees such as contractors and other civilian personnel stationed overseas and to civilian personnel authorized to accompany U.S. military forces to regions of conflict, combat, and during contingency operations.

DD Form 2765, "Department of Defense/Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card," will be issued to sponsors, other than members of the military Services, who because of their current or previous association with the military Services, are entitled to Uniformed Services benefits and privileges.

Quote from: DNall on April 28, 2008, 08:14:12 AMOff topic: Including "army volunteers." Who get abc.xyz@us.army.mil addresses just like everyone else. Be nice if the AF took note of that. The DKO portal is unifying the seperate service portals in a few years, w/ an AKO framework, and I believe that volunteer status is going to be opened up on the AF side under that. We'll see.

The retired accounts don't expire as I understand it. The others (volunteer, etc) are sponsored accts. Your sponsor (w/ CAC) has to renew your acct every few months.

Retirees don't get CACs. How would they turn on a DKO account? I'm not understanding something here, or missing a critical bit of info.

DNall · April 28, 2008, 08:48:42 AM

You don't need a CAC to activate an AKO account. It's done by SSN. The current incarnation of DKO is rather restricted. However, the plan as published on AKO & DKO is to collapse AKO, AF Portal, etc to one unified portal = DKO. That's a couple years out, but the early process is under way now. The only real impacts anyone can see at this point are there isn't a lot of expansion in most of the existing portals.

QuotePink = Old reserve ID card, now used for retired reservists

Actually I (traditional reservist) just got re-married in November and the wife got a pink dependant ID card....did it at Andrews AFB, AD MPF....so maybe its just use up whatever stock they have and apply the approipriate overlay.

That would be the red DD Form 1173-1.

All the rules here.

Grumpy · May 01, 2008, 04:37:52 AM

What red 1173?

I used ti work pass and ID and don't remember a REF 1173.

I didn't notice any mention of the 1172 (Application for the 1173) in your instructions but I just skimmed over them.

Was good to see you Saturday "curly".

I didn't do a lot of research, but the red 1173-1 seems to be relatively new, probably even since I retired, which, as we all know, was eons after your departure from AD. The instruction is dated 1997, so take it from there.

This may seem like a strange question, but does the Air Force have a designation for the CAP ID?

Second, has CAP ever been issued a civillian or dependant ID Card?
OR
Would it be a good thing for CAP members to recieve one in this day and age?

Not that I know of. I've never seen any reference to such an item.

QuoteSecond, has CAP ever been issued a civillian or dependant ID Card?

Again, not that I know of. The CAPF 19 has been around for eons. The "current" version is dated 1981. BTW, there's really no such thing as a "dependent's" ID. The card I've been issued in that capacity is the DD Form 1173, "United States Uniformed Services Identification and Privilege Card."

QuoteWould it be a good thing for CAP members to recieve one in this day and age?

Why do we need that form of ID? Something like the new CAP one, issued universally, would suffice if all the services were informed of its existence and function.

The good old CAPF 19 photo ID has been retired and replaced with the photo ID ya gotta pay $4 for on eServices. There's bound to be stocks of 'em floating around wing HQ, though.

Has it? It's still listed on the 0-9. I don't see it on my Form 8, but I'm not wing staff, either.
