Our view is that our members are more than capable of going about their business without the need to be escorted while doing so.

Seems to me they could work out some system to where if you are a registered person and a veteran, they could have someone escort you around until you are finished with your business. I guess they could say that could take up a lot of manpower, but I do not think 50 registrants are going to smash the gates all at once. They could even do an appointment system where you make an appointment and have a base employee escort you around until you leave the property.

I mean compare a military base versus being on a school property. It is the difference between night and day. Many of us have already been fired by their doctors’ offices. If things do not get better and the law makers keep adding more crap on us, eventually we might get sent to camps like they did recently with those claimed to be illegally in the country. Not sticking up for illegals, but they still should be treated under the Geneva Convention with humane treatment, as ALL of us deserve to be treated.

I am a 50% disabled veteran, a registrant and have gotten tremendous care from the VA. Criminal history and registration questions have never come up. I think VA policy is not to discriminate against felons. I don’t know what would happen if a VA hospital is on a military base; mine is not. Access to the base is at the discretion of the base commander. I was denied entry to my local base for “security” reasons.

That was what I was asking Crazy88. Awaiting his response. If so, how come you can go to the V.A but not the base?

Was someone denied admittance to the VA?

@Crazy88

Question, does the ban even apply to the V.A hospital? If so, that is even more disgusting. What is next, taking away the monthly payments (For those who made it to retirement)?

I don’t know that it was the base/cc who did it but more like DOD policy that did it for everyone. The sibling CA org to FAC has long tracked it with their forum. As a fellow AF vet, those who earned the benefits should be able to use them. Remember, it is more than just PFRs who were banned, but felons altogether who once had the ability to enter that were too.
