I was ret. From milatary ARMY@ 19, Medical discharge.. the Id card said indefinite experation how do i replace it..and what documents do i need? im in miami@ present?

Retired?

Go to the nearest military installation. You will be in DEERS. They will replace it. The Reserve stations also can do ID cards. No other paperwork is needed.

If you lost your ID card take a copy of your DD 214, your medical retirement orders and several IDs to the nearest ARMY base and go to the DEERS (MILITARY I D CARD) section and they should be able to help you out. I just got my DAV disabled Veteran ID card and my name and information was still in the system. The clerk told me my old base address and already knew my dependents names. It has been at least 15 years since I had anything to do with DEERS but it was all their.

If your ID card said indefinite why would you need to replace other than losing it?

i lost it ....will i still be able to replace even tho i choose VA comp. verses ret pay (was only E-2 pay)?

Try calling 1 800 538 9552 and explain to them your situation. This is the number for the DEERS eligibility center and they will ask you to identify yourself and see if you are still eligible. Please let us know what they say for future questions

rikkor,

Looks like you are getting good advice. I had the same early medical retirement. Just remember to keep your DEERS info current and add any dependents as you get them.

It will make things much easier for Tricare coverage & getting your dependents cards.
