The Birth Certificate oh NOooo ...

... oooooooooooo

Well, a funny thing happened today when my new husband and I went to the naval base to get me a military ID card. I was asked to produce identification, so I got out my driver’s license, my concealed weapon permit, my VA ID card, my voters registration card, my social security card, my library card and my marriage certificate, whew and was told that was insufficient?????

Nitro Cruiser - Maybe this is indicative of inner agency cooperation … where the different agencies pick their own way and try not to cooperate with anyone else about it. They probably just don’t want to confuse anyone, hehehe. It isn’t really an issue … just thought I was covered. I am going to get a passport next because that too is actually considered proper identification. I should be ok though with my soon to be had birth certificate and military ID card … I hope, hehehe.

They couldn't even read it ... now that is funny!
