I spent 3 years in the Marines...was honorably discharged...and have a Veterans I.D. card. Recently I heard that as a vet who served but did not retire from the service I could go on base and sjop at the Base Exchange. Is that true? Thks, R. Nelson

Base exchange is available to all veterans on line. The base access is only available to retired and active duty. Without a base id card u will not get past the main gate

No. You can shop online, though.

Im a vet, but not retired & I was visiting relatives in Spokane last July and could go on base as a visitor with her( retired dependant) but couldn't buy anything at the BX or gas station.

Honorably discharged vets can use the exchange system online stores. 100 disabled vets sometimes are eligible for ID cards and would be able to access the base use the physical store.

Mary, no you may not use the BX. You may however shop on line. Thanks for your service.

If you have a government issued id card you can get on base and use the exchange

I heard a rumor they were going to allow it...best to call them and get they first hand answer

I do not believe so. We had a gap in retirement after separation where we were not allowed Base privileges including BX and Commissary even with VA card and benefits. You can always call and ask. They are super helpful! *I would also note that just being on base does not give you purchasing privileges. And thank you for your service!

If a Veterans I'd card can get you on base, you can shop the BX

Ray Spencer | Aug 20, 2018

I don't think so, but you can confirm with the VA. I'm a 30 yr retired Army vet....or you can confirm online under benefits for vet's.
