Two retired military registrants were denied access to military bases during the past seven days. One of the registrants was denied access to a Marine base while the other was denied access to a Navy base. The two registrants are retired from two different branches of the military — Air Force and Navy. Both attempted to access a military base in order to pick up one or more prescription medicines.
According to a document provided to one of the two registrants, the Marine Corps has a new screening and vetting process for persons entering a military facility that became effective on November 1. The process includes an all Service electronic Physical Security Access Control System that includes a list of all individuals listed on the National Sex Offender Registry. The document also states that screening and vetting of all persons entering a Marine Corps facility is “critical to ensuring the safety and security of those persons living and working aboard Marine Corps sites and the security of our resources and assets.”
“We do not know at this time the breadth of this exclusion, that is, whether it includes all branches of the military and whether it applies to the registrants’ dependents,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci. “Litigation may be necessary in order to address this significant harm.”
ACSOL requests that anyone denied access to a military on or after November 1, 2021, contact Janice Bellucci by email at jmbellucci@aol.com or by phone at (805) 896-7854.
I noticed on base rules it always stated felons including SO were not allowed on base. I am 100% and have not been denied access to any base yet. I have been on Camp Pendleton, LA Airforce Base, FT Irwin, March ARB, Los Alamitos. I use my DOD ID so I don’t know if it is the VA id that are having trouble
In my community, we have Fort Irwin, (army) and MCLB, US Marine Base.which is a supply depot for 29 palms and other MCLB installations. Both Bases employment are big part of the work force here in the community. Both facilities are always having entry level type jobs of various areas, along with excellent paying jobs. However, per their own website, they will not permit anyone that is a registrant on these facilities – at all. I would very much like to at least apply for employment, but I am unable due to their restrictions. So, I feel your pain. Good luck to all
My Denied Entry was a little different yesterday. when I went through the gate and scanned my DoD ID the guard asked me to pull to the side and that the MP wanted to speak with me. A MP came asked for my Drivers license and he ran that then asked for my social security # and he ran that during this I called My Wife to come to the gate because this was real strange behavior since if they deny they just tell you to u-turn and head out. The MP came back with my cards and directed us to go to the main Visit/Guard post at the Main gate when we went there and spoke with the guards I was placed in handcuffs and “detained” and it was told to me that there was a BOLO issued for me and I was kept handcuffed while they called another MP and they went through running my ID’s. After another 30min of the same Bullshit they gave us a form to fill out and come back in the morning to submit to the MP Commander to clear up the BOLO, We will be headed over in a few hours, I will try to gain any and all info to give to the group.
My case is over 20yr from California and am listed
So I’m not retired, I’m a dependent, My wife is Active Duty on Orders assigned to Ft. Stewart Georgia. Active Duty personnel and their dependents use TriCare Prime for Medical, That means we have to use the Hospital, clinics and pharmacies on base or pay extra co-pays for everything. The ER visit here in Georgia for my son just cost 350 off base.
Just from a 1980’s prospective:
Back in 1983, I was going to a Navy school in Orlando, Fl. I was maybe 6 months into my enlistment. While going to school, my duty was as a gate guard. There were military police of course, but they didn’t stand guard at the gates (entrances to the base).
My job/duty was to make sure people coming onto the base had a military ID and valid sticker on their vehicle. They pulled up to the gate, flashed their ID (no ideal if they were valid) and a sticker on their vehicle (they had a month/year sticker in which I could see). If it was an officer sticker, I saluted, otherwise just waved them through.
If perhaps the vehicle sticker was out of date, I’d direct them to the main gate to get a new one. Otherwise it was have a nice day no matter if the ID matched the driver or anyone else in the car.
I was usually stuck at some back gate at 2 in the morning with nothing but a land line telephone to the front gate and half asleep. I saluted, I waved em through. There was no close inspection of any documents, no where are you headed, etc etc etc.
I was denied access today to NAS lemoore. I work here as a government employee. I have worked here for 5 years. Passed all background checks and suitability checks. Now I have to wait on word of a waver to be able to keep my job.
So I just went to TriCare online patient portal to request medication refills, If I don’t want to pay for them I have to use the Base Pharmacy, I can’t go get them at the moment do to the BOLO notice at the gate, but my wife can with my ID, Well The system rejected my request and added a notice to contact the pharmacy staff regarding my request, I thought maybe the webpage might have glitched so I refreshed and went back into that part and it now says I have NO Rx of any kind connected to the Base. I have 2 more refills on these meds linked to the Base Pharmacy as well as a dozen others that are on 90 day refill. These are Pain/Serious health meds for my chronic issues that I am disabled over.
I have a very strong suspicion that all my Legitimate connections to granting my access to On-Base Services has been removed, Thereby making it easier to deny my request for denial waiver.
My wifes E-7 has voiced his objections to our marriage (I’m older), he’s been asking for our Chapel Marriage Certificate for proof while refusing the official state vital records certificate as proof.
I have a feeling that He was the one to report to the Gate Guard of my status because for the life of me I can not wrap my head around why They would have a CRIMINAL STYLE BE ON THE LOOK-OUT NOTICE issued for me at the base gate.
When entering any Military base they have a visitor office where you check and get cleared they scan your ID and then wait and when the MP’s role is behind you they tell you, your cleared enter and escorted you off this has happened to me several times. I have been Vetted by TSA cleared of being a threat to our National Security given a TWIC card while being a 290 and on the website. The Military found out that our government was doing this and stopped accepting the TWIC card. They make it very difficult for you to get any information to file a complaint or address the mistreatment. I have been experiencing this problem for the last 4 years. each Military base has its own discretion but this one rule system-wide I was told. And you will not get to the chain of command to address this. I have been blocked for the last four years.
I was just told that I wasn’t allowed on Nellis AFB today except for Medical or Pharmacy reasons. I am a 20 year retiree and in my Pre-trial Agreement, I was told that I would be able to still have all my benefits INCLUDING access to the base for ALL reasons. I would really like to know what is being done by the ACSOL legal team to see what can be done to have this changed or reversed. I was going to the base gym almost daily, as I no longer was allowed to go to my local YMCA as they also banned me due to my status as a registrant. Please advise, as this is goes against what was told to me and along with all the given benefits that I was told I could still have. If Janice or any of the others on the legal team would like to contact me, I have provided my email with this message. My “crime” was adjucated at a special court martial, and I was charged with an Art. 80(Attempts) against my then wife, who, unbeknownst to me, had a boyfriend who was also in the Navy, who told her to go to the base police where I was then charged with MULTIPE offenses, all of which would make about 90% or more of all married men also charged with just wanting to have relations with their wives. I am willing to fight this, even though I have no money to really get any kind of legal team on my side other than begging for ASCOL to put my on the top of the letter head if needed on a lawsuit to fight this. Thank you in advance and let’s fight this as much as we can. This is a punishment to me and anyone who says otherwise is just wrong and can’t see how the registry is nothing BUT PUNISHMENT!
Kind of a self-fish type question but is this for retirees or all veterans? I will attempt to go on Lemoore one day in California but do not have a reason to at the moment.
I’m an Army retiree who served 20 plus years of active duty. I was told to register, and filled all the paperwork and presented all the evidence required. The result of that is that now I’m not allowed access on post permanently.
Just wondering if anyone has recent experience and where this all stands at the moment. I think I had read that Janice and the group were contemplating filing an action? Did that happen? Thanks in advance…
After I became a registrant, I went through a period of homelessness. As a vet, there are plenty of housing (on site and other) where transition back to society would had been non eventful to me. Instead, I found that I wasn’t welcome in any of the programs for transitional housing on campus or off! My only recourse was skid row! Life for two years didnt have to be so punishing for me, but it was.
I dont get it–I performed my contractual duties while on active duty and I am an eligable vet. So why did they strip me of such vital services. Yes I have been denied.
100% disabled veterans. Worked for department of veterans affairs for 4 years and now work for Department of Transportation. With DOD ID card denied access to fort sill Oklahoma and fort Buchanan Puerto Rico.

Just wondering if anyone in CA that has been granted relief from registration and removed from the Megan’s list has attempted base entry yet?
