Actually,no you are by DOD Regulations, as of 2013, prohibited from copying your ID card, CAC portion or not, for proof of identity purposes. There were GMT's on the subject, as well as information posters distributed to "get the word" out. SSO's, Chains-of-Command and individual units were instructed to educate their personnel on the new policy. If a business or vendor wants proof of military membership, use your .mil account to email them or have your ADMIN draft a FOUO memorandum stating you are active duty military, on unit letterhead, signed with "by direction authority" by your division officer or NCOIC.

Hmm...did you forget the most veterans don't have .mil accounts and we are not part of unit anymore; hense the part of being a vet.
Until the DoD advises me, I have no problem with showing a copy of my dd214 or VA ID card.

No I didn't forget that fact at all. The DOD instructs "Veterans" who have separated or retired from active duty to use a copy their DD Form 214. That is acceptable and legal proof of your Veterans status. And "showing" your VA Id card and making a photo copy of it are two entirely separate occurrences; I never said the DOD prohibits either option you mentioned...now did I friend? "Hence", careful reading of my post would have negated the need for your response.

Veterans aren't on active duty....Veterans are people who have served and are done. The BEST way to prove Military status is a DD214 or a Military I.D. card.

....or just wait a few weeks for "Black Friday/Cyber Monday" sales.

That is incorrect. A Veteran can be on active duty. Given the conflict we've been in the last 14 years, I would say there are plenty of active duty Veterans on this forum.

We have the option when getting our drivers license here in CT, to bring DD214 to the DMV. They place an American flag on the license to show veteran status. A lot easier than whipping out and carrying around the DD214.
I did this a few years ago, but almost no one knows about it until I explain it to them. Then they think it's a great idea.

We offer military discounts, As some have said it is hard to verify military status.(On the vendor end) At the risk of this getting abused, we will usually take a customers word for it. The way we look at it, we feel the military members(Active or Veteran) deserve it(The least we could do). If someone decides to lie and abuse the opportunity, then shame on you.
