Eglin AFB Access Policy

 


Welcome to CAP!  One thing that you will find in CAP is no lack of procedures.  One of the most important procedures and policies is security.  Eglin AFB is a major player in the defense of our country, as such, security is important.  Access to Eglin is not a right, but a privilege that may be revoked at any time to one, or all members who are not also military members.  In order to get routine access, Eglin AFB Pass and ID supplies to us the proper passes and ID cards necessary to gain entry to the base, our building, and all support facilities CAP is authorized use.  In order to obtain these documents, you must maintain your membership in CAP and an assignment at the Eglin Composite Squadron.  During the application process, a temporary pass may be issued, pending approval of your membership.

Army and Air Force Exchange Access (AAFES) on Eglin AFB
Eglin AFB has been very supportive of CAP and the missions we support.  Further, Eglin AFB has provided local support to Eglin Composite Squadron that is critical to our operations including building facilities, phones, and other support services.  Eglin AFB also recognizes that other units may not have access to exchange facilities as there may be no Air Force base near them.  So that other units can utilize Eglin's exchange services, thrift store, or Airman's attic, Eglin AFB allows CAP members on base providing the following documents are presented and conditions met:

  • Current CAP ID card and a picture ID.
     
  • Eglin AFB is a secure DoD installation and security on the base is tight.  While on base, travel directly to and from the faculties or services that will be used.  Please, no side trips or exploring of the base.
     
  • Non military CAP members do not have base escort (sponsor) privileges.  Only CAP members are authorized access to Eglin AFB.  Cadets may not escort parents onto the base.  Cadets must have a form of picture ID with them and if not a licensed driver, must have a licensed driver (who must also be a CAP member) with them.
