Yesterday I was able to pick up my military passport!!! Buckley Air Force has closed all non-essential personal on Tuesday. They changed their hours on Tuesday for their ID office, where I needed to pick up my passport. So yesterday I went early to pick it up and the doors were locked. I had to call someone to open the door and then 10 minutes later I had my military passport!
What is the difference?
On page 26, it has a message about how it is only valid with connection to someone in the U.S. military. This passport will allow me to get into Japan without a visa.
Next Steps.
Doug’s command had to scan my military passport in order to send an authorization message to Japan. Once I become authorized, we will be able to purchase plane tickets. When I say we, the military will purchase the tickets. But who knows how the Covid-19 measures that have been taken, they might last longer. We shall see.
