Joint Reserve Base Ellington

I need to renew ID, how do I get new Id

Monday-Friday 0800-? (I'm not sure when they close but if you don't get there early you might have to come back the next day. They get full fast and I mean fast.

no military lodging exists in Houston

No Free passport unless you are in the dod then there's a way you can ask questions to get straight answers at the welcome center outside the front gate...they are open I believe at 07 or so M-F I also know you can get a passport within 2weeks from a simple Google search I got mine at a library for 420 dollars and I had it with in 2weeks

I don't believe there is. They have a small PX. And a really nice museum just off a base.

No commissary just a BX/PX, closed on Mondays.

They have a small shoppette in the back of the base but not PX. Not sure if you can pay there. You do have to make an appointment for the ID. You can do that online.

It does open at 0700 but i highly recommend to be there at 0600 sit down pn tje bench closest to the door and wait and when they walk up get right behind that person and walk straight in and sign or qait to sign...what ever they tell you!

You need to have his I D Card, your current D/L & his death certificate.

The military travel agent company is Carlson Wagonlit Travel. Or just Wagonlit Travel. I know they have had an office on every active duty post I can remember.

Yes you can visit a soldier; however, in order to enter the base you must either have a military ID (service member/spouse/dependent), or you must be escorted by someone who does. You can have your soldier meet you at the gate so they can escort you in, I hope that helps.

Any other base have a exchange?

No there is no lodging on post.

She can get a visitor's pass near the front gate if she's driving her POV.

No hotels on this base. It is small, not a lot of major things you would see on some of the other bases.

Yes

You can make an appointment it is 18 months out

Yes.....need proper credentials to enter base though...

Virtually impossible but that's a scammy name Sir.

Not on base but probably some places within 5 to 10 minutes ie local dry cleaners.

They have been requiring appointments

No thanks

They are open but you need to call ahead to see if they are issuing ID cards.

Yes but will need to call and make an appointment

It has a BX/PX. I've been pretty much every where on it, andvhave not seen a commissary

They did require appointment, a few months ago when I renewed mine.

The gate guards require military ID upon entrance. I don't know if the retiree ID is accepted but I don't see why not. The gate guards would be able to answer that. The main building has a gym and showers in the locker rooms. There is also an Exchange at the back of the base

No

Yes. They make them at the Welcome Center.

147th ATKW

Yes currently

they will not give appointment till after 9-17-2020. Go on line to idco.dmdc.osd.mil to set up Deers

With your husband's card no, you have to get yours, or if he's present at the time you can go get a visitors pass and i don't think they open for the time being, except if it's family day and your husband already gave your name to his unit then yes but if not no

Yes, just looked it up. You have to ho to Welcome Center

There is no commissary on base and the bx hours are posted online i nliebe

It has a small PX, not alot in there but you should find the basics

Go to the welcome center before the gate with two forms of ID and they will help you m-f banker hours! I suggest to be at the bench out front at 0500 just so you are in line first before the crowd!

Thank you! It’s only open 5am- noon? Do you know what they have?

There is no clothing and sales the closest one i believe is either fort sam houston (san antonio) or fort hood!

Make appointments

He is in Ft Sill, Ok now. He can not go with me. Do I need bring the 2 forms of ID and enlistment paperwork, right ? And then i need to wait him to sent me all information, right ?

Go to va

Correct

If you want

yes

Negative

I think I recall seeing they had hotels in base on their website.

Negative Go to coast guard base or ft hood or sam Houston

No sir

They have medics for the military during drill weekends anything else I do not know!?

I would not know, you could call the welcome center and they would have the answer.

Yes you can they have a visitor center before you enter the gate of the base

That is a good point they do have a issue with answering the phonei don't think they know what a land line phone is that is good advice go early in the morning

To go to France, yes.

No

Yes in some cases my friend still has one after her husband passed 10 years ago

No

Walk into the visters center at the front gate they can answer your questions!

There is no dedicated RV parking area, and generally they do not allow RVs for any form of long term stay. Occasionally, those who report to drill weekend bring a pop up Travel trailer. Usually Army. If it's a Large RV, I'd avoid bringing it as you may get denied.

Thursday

Yes. They close at 4pm. Open Tuesday thru Sunday

I don't think you can but I bet you if you get to a welcome center they can do it and or a VA center I recommend the out patient one off the 290 going west

No

There is a bx store. Not a lot of clothes to buy.

Only for planes. There's a Shell.

Yes. A few. Also check out CrossFit Ellington on Facebook. FREE!
