Default RE: DOD sticker placement

Well here on Ft Braggyou must havea Mil ID, DOD sticker, a MSF card and proof of ins, reg, long sleeves, pants, full leather boots, helmet (dot certified), gloves, and a reflective belt. That is if you get the 1% checkwhen they pull you to the side. On a normal day you have to have a DOD Sticker, MSF card and aMil ID along with the clothes. The only thing is; to get a DOD sticker here you have to attend the MSF course on Bragg or in NC. So no sticker no enter no matter whattrust me they turned me away when I was Trying to bring my bike home. I had to store it at a Buddy's until I got all my stuff fixed. I should of just went through Pope I guess.

The Marine Corps bases want it placed on the front left fork so it can't be transferred to other vehicles. They still check for ID cards at the gate though. Kind of a hassle when wearing full fingered gloves on a hot day.

Here on Kirtland AFB, they are no longer required so Casique is correct - the AF and soon all the other branches of the military will not require DOD stickers - however, they might still require you to 'register' your bike on base/post/etc. Reasoning behind this is that having a DOD sticker on your bike, car, truck, whatever makes you a more easily accessible and identifiable target when travelling off-base, where all the baddies are. Check with your Pass/I.D. office and ask about it.
Concur. CAC and, if necessary,other more restrictive base ID card(s) but no decal required any more at PAFB or CCAFS.

ETA: A few months ago when we were still required to have decals, I posted how I did mine in the link simcom mentioned...

do a search for this. there are some really good suggestions in a few threads here already.

Not requireing the DOD stickers on vehicles make as much sence to me as the opening of the bases to the public during the Clinton administration. With just small investment in equipment and card, couterfit CAC cards can be made which will easily pass the visual inspection of a gate guard. Unless they are taking each CAC card and scaning them for approved access, not requiring a DOD sticker is just asking for trouble on many bases in the future. [/align]

DOD stickers are much easier to replicate and fakethan CAC cards wouldn't you say?
These stickers say nothing that a CAC card doesn't already say..... Plus they are a waste of time and effort and add my personal information on ONE MORE database or list that is just waiting to be stolen from someones laptop...[:@]

Like anything else, I guess the new CAC could be forged, as could the base decals. The AF got away from it to save money. Guess they figured the savings in sticker costs would help out. On the same note, I can't tell you how many times I saw a troop sell a car and forget to remove his decal, which used to allow unauthorized access to the installation. The system only works if EVERYONE abides by it. The days of seeing a sticker and waving folks on to base are long gone anymore. Now, they check your ID anyhow, so the sticker is useless. Also, the new CAC cards have a few built in features that helps them to NOT gget forged (such as the reflective service symbol and the info on the back), but if there's a will, there's a way. Only thing it really does is keep the honest people honest. They will do random checks for license and insurance though, and if you're on a bike, you're required to have your MSF card on you too.

it is the person who requires access to the base/post, etc. not the vehicle. if i am going to work, it shouldn't matter what vehicle i take, be it mine or a buddies, or even a rental. and as has been said, the stickers are easier to fake than a cac card, plus here if you use a cac card, they will often ask for a dl also. i just use my id, sometimes they check 2 forms, most times not.

they do not have any plans to abandon use of the dod sticker here on ft polk in the near future. which makes no sense, as i said, if you check my id, why does my vehicle have to have a sticker on it?

Requireing vehicle registration on a base is part of the security procedures as a whole. It is easy for an MP/SP on patrol to call in the vehicle tags to check it's regiestered owner on base than it is to search for the person who owns the vehicle. And no it's not just you who requires access to the base, it's the vehicle also.

I'll bet you all are some of the same ones who bitch about having to go through a security screening at the airports.

Here on Bragg they scan everybody's in the car. If you don't have a DOD card you are not let on. It has been that way for some time now. If you don't have a DOD card you wait at the welcome center to get a pass. That being said the bar code on the DOD card doesn't lie. It tells everything about you and ever one you bring on with you. If you were to get caught pulled over for one thing or another and it was found that you had a fake DOD ID or sticker I would think you would be the most screwed person on the base at that time and would spend some serious time inthe federal eyes.
