I went to a place that offered active duty and retiree discount but the venue would not accept my blue ID. They said it has to be white with the words 20 year retirement or something like that. Just wondering if they have changed. Does anyone know?

Had to chuckle because when I renewed my Idaho drivers license, I said "what the heck" and checked the veteran block. The agent refused my retired ID showing me a list of acceptable forms. DD Form 2 was on it. I showed her the back side so she could read it. No worries, she then called Boise to say some guy was fraudulently applying for "veteran". She was real silent listening to the elevated voice from Boise. She was more silent when she finished processing my renewal. They're out there.

NO, the Blue card a DD Form 2, (Retired) United States Uniformed Services. It also has the seal of the branch of service and word retired upon it. The word retired appears on both the front and the back. The white CAC, Computer Access Card, is valid ID for Members of the active Duty, Guard and Reserve still in those services. The VA card is also white and like the CAC card hard plastic. Also those retired from the Guard or Reserve that haven't reached the age of 60 where they are now qualified for retired pay have the Red DD Form 2, (Reserve Retired) Also a Disabled Veteran has a Light brown ID card and states what He is or isn't entitled to right on the card.

I hear you. This, like most things, is a failure on the venue to properly train their staff. My point being, if a place of business offers a discount of ANY kind to anyone, they, at the very least, should be able to distinguish the credentials required to obtain the discount.
