Default I was denied access to the post just a few weeks ago myself

I too was denied access to have a drink after going there to meeting last week. I am not a member because I feel if you have a military retired ID, and not the DD214, that should be good enough for membership. I spent almost twenty five years in the service, and not reserves or National Guard, but regular Active Duty. I called the state, and national departments and said I should join and bring this up, but my stance on this is what I worked for in the service, not just guys who spent a couple of years in and treat a retiree this way. Also I found out even if your not military but you dad was you can join and get all the benifits, and a retiree gets none, because he has a military ID. And on the other note, yes the bar manager, was very rude and loud, and very disrespectful, so on that note, why would I want to join that post.
