DOD Decals...
Military guys, where do you have your decals on your vette?
My post finally started to crack down on this, and one has to go on
I have the car registered, just never wanted to put it on.
They are so big and fugly I just can't take the look. But the C6 has such deep windshield wiper coves, It may be hidden enough right next to the VIN.

The USAF did away with the decals. I used to place it center windshield just below the header moulding. See old pic

urgh, the center is an eye sore imo.
I think it's stupid to do the decals. Especially since most people around here sell their cars to people who don't belong on post, and then they have access. That's why they are cracking down on it. Too many people who don't belong here getting on, with expired tags.

i thought they got rid of them DoD wide a couple years ago due to 100% Id checks anyway and it was just a waste of money. Make the suggestion to get rid of them and maybe you could make a buck where you are!
if not maybe you could tape on the inside of your vehicle and just remove it when not on base?

lay the sticker on a piece of thin plastic (liek the thickness of a credit card) and cut it to size and throw it in your window like its a parking pass. Or if you have a magnet you could do the same thing. (seen motorcycle guys do the magnet way)

This is a sore subject for me. McCord and Ft Lewis are side by side, one requires them the other does not. I'm retired AF but make most of my visits to Ft Lewis for medical resons. So I registred my vette on Ft Lewis. I agree this was a DOD program but now has become somewhat of a AF vs Army thing. Both do 100% ID checks so I'd lean away from them and agree with the Opsec issue. Can't wait for the dual base concept to pickup so maybe one CC will make a grand decision either way. Until then I have mine right over the vin.

Don't be surprised if they come back for the AF. Hickam AFB in Hawaii is going to start requiring stickers again on Jan 30,2010. I agree it doesn't make much sense as they check everyone's IDs anyway but there you go.

I got out of the military 33 yrs ago, but Texas requires all cars to have these 2 in this exact spot (registration and safety inspection). These aren't as bad as the required front license plate, but that's where I draw the line. I wont put the front plate on.
