Have you been allowed on base recently?

If you don't register your CAC card by March 2nd, you may not be.

The Air Force is working implementing a new Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) starting on 3/2/09.  It's a scanning device that checks your CAC card to verify your identity.  Peterson AFB had some early trials on this new system and experienced some traffic backups (as expected.)

The biggest help to make your entrance onto Peterson AFB is to have your Military ID card ready in hand when you drive up to the gate (if you aren't already in that habit.)

What happens if you don't register by Mar 2, 2009?

You'll be sent to the Visitor's Center to get access to base.  Not a deal-killer, but will certainly add some time to your entrance. 

So if you're planning on making a house-hunting trip to check out Peterson AFB real estate for a Colorado Springs Military Relocation, make sure you're registered with DBIDS (especially if you want to make those in-processing appointments on time!)

Contact me if you'd moving to the area and would like to use Colorado Springs PCS Services to make this your smoothest PCS yet.
