Hello Everyone: This is a post for military retiree’s and dependents. Just read the fleet reserve mag about the next Generation USID cards. The old style retiree DD-2 and dependent DD1173 will be invalid beginning sometime in early 2026. Exact date has not been set by DOD. If you have the NEX. Gen card DD3208 you’r good. Seems like a lot of the retiree’s have been left out of the loop and don’t know they need to change cards. If you don’t know where to go to find a Rapids ID card office the website is idco.dmdc.osd.mil/idco. I would like to see NNWA to get the info out to our retired members. Member, Terry Smith
