MIDWEST CITY, Okla. (KFOR) — Tinker Air Force Base (TAFB) officials suspended its Trusted Traveler Program on Friday citing by order of the U.S. Northern Command commander, during the suspension period, a 100% ID check will be enforced at all gates for individuals 18-years-old and over.
According to TAFB, individuals without a DoD-issued ID card are required to visit the Tinker Visitor Center during business hours to get a visitor’s pass. The Tinker Visitor Center is located at the Tinker Gate on Air Depot Blvd, and is open from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
