Deliveries to a military facility/base

Depends on the base or facility.

 

Our base in Ridgecrest California, China Lake Weapons Station, you need to be a citizen to go on base to the free museum. I would assume the same goes for a delivery driver if a tourist gets the boots.

 

China Lake has a lot of secret stuff on the base, so security is higher.

 

My wife travels with me.
She has been denied at 2 places. Both top secret things in different parts of the base.
Been to others and no problem
She is not a U.S. citizen.
Like others have stated. Depends on the base.

 

I believe it's up to the base commander on the level of security on each base until Washington intervenes, eg. wartime. There's ones from a required escort to an open base with an empty guard shack. I was in during peacetime and things were pretty slack. Since post 911 security has tightened up a bunch.

 

Most, if not all, states require citizenship to obtain a driver's license anymore, so showing your DL as ID would do it. (Or at least resident alien status, aka green card.)

 

I carry mine all the time ,, although a passport would seem more useful .
All the ones I have been to they seem to be technologically capable of running the id ..If they feel so inclined and hopefully they would ..
Who knows what magical database's they may be plugged into.
I don't feel it's entirely unreasonable to deny access to any military installation/base to individuals of foreign origin .

 

I think all military bases may be different? I know last Spring I had a delivery to a Naval base in WA-I had my D.L. S.S.card,TWIC card and I STILL was not allowed in-as I did not have my birth certificate along.

The best part? A Russian who worked on the base with the name of Yuri came to the gate and told me in a heavy Russian accent I would not be allowed in.. Go figure..
