CAC Issues for new 2LTs
BLUF: Has anyone figured out active duty CACs for new LTs before BOLC or are they just out of luck until they report to BOLC?
Cadre here, I usually spend time on here to offer help, but I could use some help on this one. I'm a first year PMS so this may be a common issue but it seems like I am missing something. I reached out to my brother PMSs and they are equally stumped. I figure I would see if any of y'all have figured this one out yet. All my 2LTs who just commissioned now have expired/expiring CACs. My guard/reserve 2LTs got their new ID cards with no issue, but my active 2LTs who took initiative to try to replace their CACs got told they can only get a reserve ID because they are technically in the reserves until they report to BOLC. They want to get a CAC to use their .mil email etc. before the start of BOLC. We are near a base so they have easy access to get a CAC replaced. I'm not sure if this is just how it works or a bad interaction at one DEERS office. Thanks for the help!
