RE: DOD sticker placement
I understand your point, but DOD stickers is not the answer. Easily replicated, hardly ever checked. I've been working with the DOD for 20 something years and don't know one person who's DOD sticker was bounced against any database at a stop. Usually they just take the sticker number down and give you a ticket (for whatever).

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?

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]

I am not sure what all services you all work for or where you are located but I do know that if you don't have a sticker here at Bragg you are pulled to the side and all your info is taken then your command is notified that you need to have a sticker put on your car. now if you don't have a sticker on a bike you do not get on period. I have witnessed this first hand. No matter what no entry.

jnetmac, your base commander needs to retire and his boss too!
When they are doing 100% ID checks on every friggin' vehicle that comes through the gate, it kinda makes DOD stickers obsolete, wouldn't ya say? And, Iwouldn't think you'd have to show your MSF card every time through either...
BTW, what's so special about Ft. Bragg..?? It can't be any different than Holloman AFB...

RE: DOD sticker placement
Same here in Charleston. The sticker is just one level of security. The real deal is the CAC card.

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.

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.

but it sure does advertise to the whole world that you are a military person with access to any base. nothing like painting a target on your back, eh?
my point was that it shouldn't matter what vehicle i'm in, whether it be bicycle, motorcycle, car, or truck.... once i get on post, the vehicle gets parked. i, however, go into the building and (gasp) work...

I'm sorry to have to tell you this but this is the funnest thing I've ever heard from a military person. Seriously man would you really want it any other way then having every one that comes in to a military post checked???? I mean there is some serious stuff of these bases that are a security risk to the country and ever man or woman that wears the uniform. I think that checking every one in every vehicle is a small price to pay for national security and possible attacks on sacred ground.

RE: DOD sticker placement
The decal is required at McChord AFB in Washington state. We also show our cac cards and have them scanned to get on base. The decal helps security determine if a particular vehicle belongs on base. Alsoall base personnel must show proof of insurance in order to get a decal. This last detail is reason enough to keep the decals around.
