  1. They answered all my questions after calling for guidance. They were very professional, thank you.

  2. What a great experience I had at the ID Card Section/Deers on 24May2018. I was greeted by a young lady that check me in immediately. Waited about 30 minutes and was call to station 9. Ms. Harris met me at her station opening and immediately I felt welcomed. She was very friendly, professional, and efficient.The system they have in place is so much better than in years past. Thank you, Ms Harris for your service, no only to me as a DOD retired Civilian, but to our soldiers of all branches.

  3. What an amazing experience! As a widow I had to come get a new card and my CAO from Lejeune reminded me mine is going to expire. I am traveling and was floored the BS stories I have heard about this office and it was a breeze! Thank you for making a tough situation super smooth and quick. I am grateful and was expecting to wait hours but no 30 Ish min and out. What a pleasure to work with in a sad suituation. Thank you!!

  4. We had a wonderful experience at the Ft Campbell ID/DEERS office. We were immediately acknowledged by a very nice young man and received a number for service. We waited perhaps 10 minutes to be seen by a very efficient young woman named Tammy. She processed us quickly and we had our new ID cards within 15 minutes. Great experience!

  5. Never answer the phone and fifteen minutes before closing time the phone is busy off the hook. Currently the parking lot is being worked on by a construction crew, would be nice to know if there is another office to get your ID card or if this office is even open. Pathetic service, but this is the new army. Socialism rules, less service, no accountability.

  6. I just called to ask about a civil service retiree ID card. The phone was answered promptly and the young man was very courteous and helpful. He even took the time to verify that my retirement showed in the system. I really appreciate his assistance. I am sorry I didn't get his name. Thanks!

  7. This is the most pathetic office on the planet. They never answer their phones and the online scheduling is even worse. Definitely won't be wasting my time with these people anymore.

  8. Terrible. The online appointment scheduler doesn't work and the only time I got someone to answer the phone, they put me on hold for 20 minutes and never came back. Now it's busy every time I call. Been trying for several weeks.

  9. Walked in to get a new ID card today. There was no waiting. David took great care of us. He was very helpful, professional and expedient. The gentleman at the desk was extremely helpful too. Excellent service!

  10. the rapids link to get an appt. doesn't work. I have been calling for several days and haven't gotten through yet.

  11. They do not follow their own policies. It states right on the DD1172 form that the Sponsor must sign in person, present a valid power of attorney or have a signed and notarized form. Because they do not follow this policy I must take a day of vacation and drive 90 miles to Fort Campbell to have an ID Card made for my college aged son. Totally unacceptable. FOLLOW THE POLICY AS WRITTEN!!!!

  12. Hours to renew ID cards does allow for after school or work appointments. Can there be a day that hours are extended until 1700 or 1800?
