Base Security Note:
During the reunion there will be events that take place onboard NAS Pensacola - the golf tournament, base tour to the VT squadron/static display aircraft/National Naval Aviation Museum and the banquet at the museum. There are security requirements for getting onboard the base. A DoD ID (active/retired/spouse ID card or a CAC card) is required for entry. If you do not have a DoD ID but are in a vehicle with someone who does and present a government ID (driver’s license, passport) you will be allowed on base.
If you do not have a DoD ID and anticipate driving onto the base without someone with a DoD ID accompanying you please notify us at reunion2023@vawvrcfoundation.org so we can have you fill out the required form and place you on a list we have to submit to base security.
