A quick update for those attending our 78th Anniversary Commemoration next week.
Here is the latest information on access through Camp Pendleton gates. Security is tight. If you do not have a military ID card please read carefully the following instructions we received from the Provost Marshal's Office through the Division today.
The base is transitioning to The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) and Driver's License previously authorized will no longer be accepted for access.
We submitted 23 names of attendees who included the access pass information on their registration forms. Those passes can be obtained by checking in at the Visitors Center, Camp Pendleton Main Gate, off of Interstate 5.
Coming off the freeway, the Visitor Center (Bldg 20255T) will be on your right just before the Main Gate.
You will need: Driver's License, Vehicle Registration, and proof of Liability Insurance.
If in a rental car, you will need to show liability insurance either from the rental agency or your own auto insurance.
The Visitor Center hours are Monday-Friday 0730-1530. Office number: 760-763-8435.
We will do all we are able to get members aboard the base. Any questions please call June Cormier at 760-763-3267, or SgtMaj Marty Vasquez at 760-271-1672 if you need assistance.
Semper Fi,
Jerry Johs
