I mean shop your life away on line all you want but it they cant tell your background after you ETS.

Giving every veteran a DoD ID card or CAC would place an undue burden on the Services in my opinion. Civilian employees normally have a CAC, so granting them the right to use the Exchange might only require a regulation change, but might require a change to law.
