Spectacular Pass and ID office. The people working there are awesome. We were visiting from out of town and needed to replace a lost ID card. The staff were so helpful to us in getting the replacement even though we DID NOT have an appointment. I can’t speak well enough about them or the lady at station three who helped us. Kudos to them all.

This is probably the nicest military base in America apart from the Caribbean or Hawaii. You basically have your own secluded beach town and a luxury gym, hotel, and bowling alley. All free baby because of some taxpayers sweet cheddar.

Questions & Answers

My father was stationed at NAS North Island during the Korean Conflict. He would really like to see it again before his eyesight and mobility gets too bad. Are there any escorts that can get him on base and show him around a little?

*****Update***** 6/5/2021 Sorry I did not see your reply. I have no way of directly contacting you. So for all who needs to know. You have to have a BACKGROUND check for each base. The guards at the gates will give you directions to register. Background check will take a few days . There is always a wait so go early. If you have not already gone on base. He can go in now because they let Veterans go on base now. Just have to go and get a background check.

If you are a retired vet just show your ID and get a temp vehicle pass at the Pass and Decal office. If not, an active duty or retired sailor or Marine, or a DoD civil servant can sponsor you on.

You, and your family members all need to stop at the Pass and Decal office near the Main Gate. There, your family members need to show government issued IDs, and all vehicles must have current registration and insurance documents. A temporary passe will be issued for the other car there

Peter Parker Pancake | Aug 17, 2021

They aren't allowed on base except for a select few who go through extra training, but those are few and far between, so I wouldn't count on it, but they can meet you at the gate if you can get yourself there

Used to be Gate 2 when I was there, but the entry gates and most of the SW section of the base was re-constructed about 15-20 years ago. They never did let commercial vehicles enter the Main Gate.
