Recently, many bases have done away with the DOD stickers since we all have to show ID's at the gates. I'm stationed at LAAFB and I benefit from that newly imposed reg at our base.

\As you stated, it's an imposed reg at your base. Not all of the branches of the military are the same nor are the all the bases the same. During our "processing", they state if you claim residency in california you have to switch over to cali plates within a year. Now that's our base/commands regulation. Having a CA ID and/or DL is establishing residency because in order to get one or both you have to have a CA address. The statement "Definitely not true", is not true. Check with your command and local authorities about getting fined or Ref'd though.
