This is a good place to start.
https://access.va.gov/accessva/?cspSelectFor=vic
You need a VA account and log in.
You will need something like a passport photo.
I got one at CVS Pharmacy.
They will have your DD-214, so you don't have to worry about that.
Some states have veteran status on driver licenses
or other state picture identification cards.
(My new CHL has it.)
If you have that, the VA says you don't need the VA ID card.
The VA mails a printed card, but also allows you to download
the digital version.

Dang I forgot I signed up for this a while back.
Wonder if the Pacific Salts I got the other day would have been less.

Re: Spyderco Opfocus Discount for Military, Retirees and Veterans
I remember this program being much different.
Changed I guess?

I saw the FB post on this Thursday or Friday. Huge thanks to Sal, Eric, and the rest of Spyderco leadership for offering this to those of us who qualify. I used the Shear ID verification: That method used my name, DOB, and month of discharge to verify me almost instantly.

I’ve already placed two orders using this program, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks to everyone at Spyderco!

Re: Spyderco Opfocus Discount for Military, Retirees and Veterans
One of the many reasons Spyderco is such a fine and, believe me, one who worked for many and retired from IBM, I know. The loyalty, respect and commitment goes both ways. I routinely order from SFO and am grateful for this program.
Thank you!

Heh, you have to watch out for upsizing your order to reach the $150 free shipping threshold! I emerson-waved an item because the extra $5-7 or so saved me $13 in shipping. Also I've never had a wave-opener (but was ok with that). So far I haven't bought a whole extra knife just to save shipping at least... :D
Re: Spyderco Opfocus Discount for Military, Retirees and Veterans
Thanks Sal, Eric and crew. Great program.I think we all really appreciate your acknowledgement. I know I do.

Ha, I’m doing EXACTLY that! I’ve got the next few months planned out with 2-3 knives per month to “save” money on shipping. :D

I do not know why it wouldn't. Try contacting the board administrator.
