  1. Worst system I have encountered if you are turning away vets with documents for any reason you have failed. Treat walk inside like we matter to. Epic fail. No stars.

  2. I had a great experience. No problem making an appointment. It was for 2 weeks later, but I did not want to wait that long because my son's ID was to expire in one week. So we walked in on a Tuesday morning at 7:30 and were greeted by a nice staffer who informed us that we would be seen as soon as possible. 15 minutes later we were called in by a very courteous staffer and we were finished within 15 minutes. I think people are just walking in late in the morning. Try walking in at 7:30.

  3. Friday afternoons slow; we found NO wait time; but, staff there need to be synced up on the info that they give out, as we’ve been given incorrect or incomplete answers to our questions - e.g., ID cards for college age dependents.

  4. I'm a retired whose disabled and doesn't drive. Every time I go in to get my ID, I get turned away. Whysince the active duty service members are on post not 0600 for PT, don't they get their IDs first thing in the morning? If they do everything right away, then theirs more time for them to "sham"! Does anybody know how to contact the C. G. s office?

  5. Really bad service and rude staff.. so hard to make an appointment and they hardly get walk- in's. tried to make an appointment there since I work and I need to ask for hours off but the man said that the appointments were too far, for me to just be there at 6:30 am the next day. people shouldn't be there working there if they don't like their job.

  6. Trying to schedule an appointment is almost impossible. The scheduler doesn't work and I can't get anyone to answer the phone! Super frustrating and annoying!

  7. In the 26 years of service, I have never seen a more inefficient office working system in place. Been here since 0930 and it is now 1306 and yet to be seen. They all took lunch at 1130 and left one person to work instead of staggering their shifts. Supervisors should be relieved from their duties as they clearly don't know how to manage time and their personal. I will pray that I never have to come here again.

  8. RAPIDS Appointment Scheduler does not work. Please remove it from your website and please put someone on answering the phones for appointments, or gladly take walk ins and maybe work a little late once and a while like the rest of Army to get the job done well.

  9. I went on-line using the RAPIDS Appointment Scheduler; the site has been down for an extended time period. I called to schedule an appt. However, the receptionist informed that I had to go on-line to schedule the appt. I asked her, "can I schedule the appt. through you?" "No Sir", she replied, "I don't have access to a computer." She added, "you can come in as a walk-in, but there is no guarantee you will be seen." Really?

  10. The service provided by the staff is horrible. They move at the speed of a snail. One can clearly see there are no productivity goals in place. Sr. mgrs should periodically check to see how services are being provided here. Specifically, they should re-read the "Hawthorne Effect" and its impact on productivity. Shameful is how I describe the service provided by the ID Card section staff and the executive managers. Hopefully the garrison commander and his chief of staff will read this review.

  11. I'm sorry but I agree with the only other Review here, it's impossible to make an appointment, no one answers phones or the website to make an appointment does not work... I am going to be the hated walk in dependent who has no scheduled appointment... Please get these staff some HELP!!! It been this was for over 10yrs!!!!

  12. making an appointment of getting any information from these people is like pulling teeth with a string and a door knob. I have been trying to make an appointment for the last 3 hours, either the line is busy, there is no answer on the other 3 or 4 numbers, or I am put on hold and the person that answers NEVER comes back to me. They need o at least have someone answering phones!!!!
