Ask them to show you a DOD ID card, perhaps by scanning it.

I am touring full-time now and have a major dilemma....When I go to metropolitan areas it is hard to verify military personele.I am trying to be understanding when these guys call,but I HAVE to have a reputable reference of some sort.Are there any 800 numbers to call for personele directory?? Any suggestions will be helpful.{and is it ok to see Border Patrol agents or is that risky??}

.Thanks,Dallas Rain

it asks for ssn but it is not required.

all that is required is the last name (enter it twice or the search will fail) and the birth month and birth year.

pay no attention to the disclaimer at the bottom, i've found the site to be very accurate and it is how banks verify military personnel in order to comply with scra

Please be aware that many of the Marines who report one weekend a month as Reserve Marines at the base in Phoenix are cops. The name will appear as military as they are Reserve Marines but also full time cops!!!

You are on government property and if arrested for prostitution, your charges are felonies.

Please, don't step on the bases!

If you decide to accept this as a means of ID, you will want to take look at the color of the card, see the link below.

My dad was a career Army officer. I carried military ID, the tan version, and enjoyed full military privileges until my 24th birthday. I'm a bit brainy, and went to grad school, otherwise I would have been cut off on my 22nd birthday.  You will want to notice the color of the card!!!  Otherwise you might be visiting the horny son of member of active, or retired,  personnel.

These things a standardized.  USA means US Army, USN, US Navy, USAF, US Air Force, etc.  Look for an "R" at the end or his service branch!!!  The "R" means RESERVE.  When dad retired, I had to get a new card showing that I was now sponsored by Maj. V, USAR, the reserve army major, instead of Capt. V USA, the active duty captain.  

I appreciate that you are wanting to help out service men, but if you see an "R" on the card, you know there are parts of his life you can't assume!!!
