We once again now have the opportunity to get annual access passes for Active PGR members who do not have a DoD ID Card. These passes will be for PGR mission use only. Use for non-PGR activities without specific permission will result in your card being rescinded. No Exceptions.
We (COPGR) will track attendance for on base activities, if you are granted an access card but do not attend any on base missions, your card will not be renewed. Passes will be valid for 1 year.
IF you had a 2022 Access card, and attended missions, you will be automatically on our renewal list unless you request to be removed. If you had a 2022 Access card and did NOT attend missions, you will NOT be renewed.
In the past, missions/events have included:
Unit Memorials for active duty deaths
Welcome Home and Send Off missions for deployments
Toy Drop at TAPS building
TAPS/SOS Christmas party with Gold Star Families
Memorial Day Flaglines
Other base activities we have been invited to attend or participate in, dedications, etc.
To request an access pass, EMAIL the following information to bob.aholt@coloradopgr.org
Full legal Name as shown on your government issued ID
Social Security Number
Driver's License Number and State
Date of Birth
Email address
If you are uncomfortable providing this information via email, you can call Bob at 719-229-9012 , or get it to him at an upcoming mission. All requests need to be in by December 18th. Once Ft. Carson has had a chance to process them, we will try and set up times to meet at the visitors center and get our individual passes during the 1st week in January.
By requesting access, you are acknowledging and confirming you will comply with all Ft. Carson or PGR restrictions related to access, and will follow the direction of the mission RC at all times while on base.
All requests will be reviewed by the current southern Colorado Assistant State Captain and other SoCO Ride Captains if needed. If you are not recognized as an active member, we may reach back out for additional clarification. Our goal is to not reject anyone who wishes to participate, but also to not burden Ft. Carson or the COPGR with tracking people who are not active members. If you only attend 1 or 2 missions a year, you will be asked to get a 24 hour visitors pass for any on base missions vs. having an access card.
ALL members requesting base access will be subject to a background check by Ft. Carson visitor control and final approval of our submitted list will be at the sole discretion of Ft. Carson.
Just posting as a reminder, if you need a Ft. Carson visitors pass with the PGR, please submit your info by Dec 18th per the main posting. Thank You.
