I'm an Army Veteran. Am I able to get on base at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, located on Oahu HI? If so, am I able to shop at the commissary?

I got out of the Army in 2011, honorable discharge. I do have a standard Veteran ID card from the VA, if that helps at all. I was just curious whether I will be able to get on base at Marine Corps Base Hawaii if I try to swing by. Would I be able to shop at any of the stores on base as well? Reason I ask is that last year, I tried to go visit a friend (O-5) on Schofield Barracks where I had also served, and I couldn't even get on base at all. Thanks in advance for any feedback here. Cheers and hope everyone is doing great this evening. <3

Veterans who are eligible to obtain a Veteran Health Identification Card must use this credential for base access and to use these privileges. The card must display the veteran's eligibility status, whether that be service-connected disabled, former POW or Purple Heart recipient.

Does Your VA Card Say You Have A Service Connected Disability ?
If So You Can Get On Base And Shop At The Exchange.

I have my VA card with service-connected disability on it. How does it work if my wife and kids are with me?

That Was A Typo In My Earlier Reply.
I Am 100% Service Connected And My Wife And I Have The Brown DOD ID Cards.
However One Of My Sons Has A 30% Rating From VA And He Goes On To Ft Steward To The Exchange All The Time Without Any Issues.
