    A Great Base and Convenient! Easy access to all facilities. The gym is decent and the Commissary has great deals. Everything is in close proximity. Even the gas station is in walking distance from everything else. Overall, a pretty cool place to visit!

    Weight room. Up to date equipment!

    Are there theme park tickets sold here?

    Does anyone know the exact name of the building to go to for ID cards? I appreciate everyone's help,…

    Building 272, First Floor. Good luck.

    Is there a military ticket office here?

    Hello, can anyone tell me if the base is open 24/7? If not, what time does the gate open/close? Thank you!

    The base is normally open 24/7, however, not everything on the base is open 24/7. The gas station is. Of course, there are occasional changes from the norm depending on security concerns.

Staff was helpful and friendly. After parking in the back lot or street, you take the elevator to the 4th floor (for Suite 400) . There will be security team of two who inspect your bag for contents. and ask you some questions (Do you have an appontment? Are you carrying any arms, sharp objects, etc..)? At the time I was there for a 1:20 PM appointment, everyone else there (maybe 15-20 people) also had appointments. There were two TV monitors, but they were not watching TV shows - just monitors showing which ticket number was next and some government ads. Suggestion: Try to get an appointment before getting there. After security, register on the touch screen to get your ticket. Take a book or something to read (my phone signal was weak). I was there 15 minutes early and they took me right at 1:20.

    Apparently, you can only do one review and I wanted to let you know that the gentleman Fernandez…read morewas top-notch. He went above and beyond helping us. He was nice and courteous kept asking if we needed any more help and he was just amazing. I give him five stars! However, the facility gets zero stars; read my experience below On 6/18 I had an appointment to straighten out my Social Security card. It basically took me two days of calling to get this appointment .Once I got there, the guards were extremely rude asked me over and over again if I had an appointment. They asked me what the appointment was for they said well, we can't help you and we don't know why you're here. They wanted me out of there ASAP! I began to tell them that I spoke to someone on the phone and they were the ones who gave me the appointment for today! Anybody knows that you can't walk into the Social Security office and you have to make an appointment! I don't know why they think they're above the law. They're just rude. And they need to get over it. I would give this place a zero star, but that's not a choice. It wasn't until I got to the back and spoke to someone and he made me feel better. I'll give him a separate review, but for right now this place is getting a zero star Update: apparently I can't do two reviews, but Fernandez was amazing. He was so nice.

We stopped in last week and the office wasn't as busy as we remembered during prior visits. The guard told us that we could drop off our packet in the box and they'd get to it sometime in the future. It's disappointing that we can't walk in and wait to meet with a live person anymore. Street parking was readily available in front of the office.

    Helping a friend navigate the complicated medical system...after several phone calls he was told he…read morehad to make a trip here to "release" his request for healthcare. I'm fortunate to get healthcare through my employer so by no means am I an expert on seeking healthcare in the open market, but let me tell you something - the process for folks who don't have employer healthcare options is not only broken, it's down right pathetic. I attempted to jump online and figure out the process and it was tough for me to navigate...I can't imagine what seniors go through when they attempt this. Could be why so many don't have a healthcare plan...it's a complicated mess! And I could easily see how he made his mistake online, both the Covered California and Medi-Cal sites are filled with links that lead you in circles. So after 3 hours of waiting in an over-crowded room (oddly the room looked much like the websites with signs, placards, multi-language videos and maze like booths and sections) he had the info he needed and his record was "released" and he can now proceed with private insurance. Yippee! Sadly this place isn't going to win any prizes for aesthetic and service is iffy - though I was able to get us to the right place by asking key questions, it was as if we were bothering folks. One gentleman standing next to the security check was very helpful and friendly too and a very nice lady got us to the right line. Speaking of security check, I was scolded for being a too quick when walking through the metal detector and scolded for not paying closer attention to the purse check. I'm not fazed by a scolding or two. Our tax dollars at work and the nicest thing I can say is this: do what you can to avoid having to visit this office in person. Social services are important to many, in my opinion this quagmire we call government programs are not exactly streamlined or efficient.

Keep in mind she was also 30 minutes late to my phone interview, coming at me with an attitude that my new application is misinforming when I'm giving her all the information and circumstances. Her brain isn't connecting the dots. She stops the interview and tells me to come in person and schedules me for a 10PM INTERVIEW. She makes it my problem to deal with and never addressing her incompetency. You've got to be fucking lying. Who's hiring these people? Later she's trying to make it my problem again by scheduling me for another in person interview and the mail just got to me a day after her new scheduled date. These mofos don't understand food is an essential need.

I think you'll find it helpful if your child will find themself here. I can remember the day like it was yesterday... a day like any other here in Sunny SoCal - my son, a sophomore college student who was majoring in Criminology/Criminal Justice told me when we were out on a hike that he wanted to take this path. Was I completely caught off guard? Yes! Did I give him a long drawn out speech about how when we start things, we finish them and he was absolutely not putting his college education on hold to detour down a different road? Yes! I told him, after he graduates he can explore this passion to serve our country and thought that was the end of it. Fast forward to this March when I check his location and find he's at a local US Army recruiting station and my heart falls out of my chest. As a single mother since he was 9 months old, this past year has been interesting to say the least. As a college graduate he knew he'd go the Officer route and began the prep and testing earlier in the year. He's been to MEPS a few times now. They typically put him up at the LAX Marriott, as a parent of a child who rarely if ever sleeps away from home unless it's at a best friends house this was a very new experience for the both of us. Rooms are shared at the hotel, meals are provided, and wake up seems to be around 230/3a, brekke at 345a, with a shuttle back to the center around 430a. My son was extremely determined to follow his next dream after graduation. He maxxed out on all tests written, physical (we're a fairly athletic family already so these things were no stretch), etc. and went in front of the local board this past October. I knew the week of December 5th would be a very exciting one for him. I also knew within ten days I'd have the end date to our Book 1 Chapter 22. My son received his acceptance call from his recruiter as told on Dec 9th (congrats to all accepted), he signed his 8 year 3yr 24month active duty contract and was sworn in 4 days later. I was not able to be in the building but they live stream these and I was able to watch it in that capacity. Things move extremely slow at MEPS, but food is provided and phones can be used from time to time for communication. My son noted many of the men and women here are very young (high school age). There are no words to express the amount of pride I have in him, the confidence I have in his leadership and admiration I have for his courage and bravery. He'll be at Fort Jackson and then at Fort Benning. So while I look up every yummy restaurant and fun spot in Columbia and Columbus, and pick out graduation dresses he is off on a very big and exciting journey to serve amongst the less than 1% (a category I do love us tackling but my marathons just can't quite compare to this on any level). I know my two grandfathers are smiling down, beaming with pride. I truly believe all men should be required to, as time has passed I see so many benefits to it. I don't like using the word "real man" but I really do feel like it takes a certain kind to go active duty and quite frankly out here in the West I don't think it's as common as in other states. I know our political party has nothing to really do with this and some are going strictly for the benefits, and even marrying for extra cash flow which is certainly a path. My son doesn't care much about the salary, his motive is service and acquiring the skills to better land a spot in the CIA or FBI by way of becoming a US Army Ranger serving in the 75th regiment. Reach for the stars baby! Columbia, SC here we come!!! Ok, maybe just me for graduation, yummy bites and weekend adventures. I refuse to be the crazy mom who does a short term rental near the base just to know I'm breathing the same air near him, unless.... I do that near Fort Benning ;) kidding kidding. Bring your patience when you are coming here, the days are long and things like fingerprints can take 5 hours to do in just a few minutes. Travel arrangements for ship dates are taken care of here but seem to be an all day process as well. Patience, patience, patience. Hurry up and wait is definitely accurate. Sending love to all of the families of our service men and women from a very new empty nester single Army Mom who is looking forward to being a resource to others in similar situations.
