So my guess is they’ll have to have a military ID before shipping out to Basic Training... Moreover, it’s relevant for our spouses and dependents tone prepared.

According to the article, military ID is good for travel. (They added this information after they posted the article.)

SGT (Join to see) - I'm not worried at all about that. Assuming for a moment that new recruits from those states will need passports to fly, then getting a passport is just going to be one of the many hoops they have to jump through during the enlistment process.

New Mexico and some other states are on waiver. They still issue Drivers licenses to Illegal Aliens without identifying them as such. I'm surprised CA isn't on the list, although since you can't arrest them, illegal may be on their license.

2005 law and now it's an issue. Comply with the laws and all will be good.
The nine states are Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington. Each of these states does not currently issue a state ID that lives up to federal ID minimum security requirements, according to the REAL ID Act of 2005. That means these states have about three months to make changes to their state IDs or drivers licenses so that they meet federal government standards. Otherwise, you'll need to apply for or renew a passport—or at the very least, find yours, wherever you stashed it after the last trip—before passing TSA and getting on a commercial airplane to another U.S. city.

Washington State has a two-tiered license system -- the average run-of-the-mill license for in-state use, and an enhanced license that can be used in lieu of a passport when crossing into Canada. That's the type I have. I'm assuming the enhanced license would be suitable for flying, but it's kind of a moot point with me since I'm almost always going on an international trip when I'm flying out of the state, so I have my passport with me anyway.
