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.

Have you looked at the Website for MCB Hawaii? As long as you meet the requirements per the page you should be fine. There is also a contact number if you have questions.

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.
