Finally got vets.gov to recognize who I am. It was a little
frustrating because several times my attempt to register was kicked out
for some reason by a related registration requirement called "ID.me".
It asked all kinds of questions like what car loan I took out in the
last year along with a list of different vehicles. One answer was "none
of the above" which I checked. Another was what year one of my bank
credit cards was issued. Who the hell knows? It's not on the card like
some that say "member since XXXX". Anyway, I was finally able to answer
all the verification questions to their satisfaction and an ID.me
account was verified.

So, being formally registered, I went back to the Vet.gov site to apply
for the new veteran ID card. Turns out I don't need one. It states
that if you already have a VA health card (which I do) and/or a state
driver's license that has "Veteran" on it (which I also have) ... you
don't need to get the new card as either of the latter will qualify you
for any military discounts offered.

One thing is for sure. Dealing with the government hasn't changed in
the last 40-50 years. :-)

It took my 2 swings at it to get the card, entering identical
information. The first time the application just got in a loop. For
some reason it did not take my DD214 upload although it would show me
a picture of it and I tried uploading it several times. By closing the
browser and starting over it flew right through.

Same thing happened to me. I didn't upload the DD214 but gave them my
SSN and answered all the goofy questions. It didn't recognize me twice
but the third time, with the same info, it worked like a charm.
