DBIDS deadline looms

Registration is a quick and easy process; it usually takes less than five minutes. The only thing needed to register is a Department of Defense-issued identification card, such as the common access cards, or dependent or retiree identification cards. Active-duty members, reservists and Defense Department employees register for DBIDS through March 31 at the pass and registration office in the visitor center across from the White Avenue Gate, the military personnel section in Sablich Center, exchange pharmacy, 81st Medical Group Hospital’s information desk and A tower lobby, Hewes Hall, 403rd
Maintenance Squadron and the Levitow Training Support Facility. Starting April 1, the visitor center is the only location for DBIDS registration for any active-duty members and civilians who haven’t registered yet, as well as retirees, dependants and contractors. Terminals will set up at the 403rd MXS building during the 403rd Wing’s unit training assembly, May 13-15, for reservists. Registration continues at the visitor center through June 31.
