The Turkey Run is a go! After a number of conversations with the Chaplains and CSMs on Post, the details have been worked out.
Post access: Visitors requiring a pass for access to Fort Riley can now apply for passes online. The online pass application is available at: HTTPS://PASS.AIE.ARMY.MIL. The online pass process can only be utilized by personnel who are US citizens, have a valid state issued REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or Identification card, and have a mobile phone.
After vetting, visitors will be sent a text informing them if their visit has been approved or denied. Approved visitors with a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card may proceed to any of Fort Riley’s access control points to be scanned for access. Passes will NOT be sent via email to the visitor.
Passes may be requested no more than 30 days in advance and are only valid for the purpose of the visit (not to exceed a maximum of 7 days). Online pass applications are only processed during Visitor Control Center operating hours. It is recommended that visitors submit pass applications 24 hours in advance of their planned visit.*

The Mid-Winter Forum offers every member, especially Post leaders and chairmen, the opportunity to learn more about The American Legion, its programs and the direction each program is expected to take if there are any changes being considered, including changes directed by National Headquarters. In addition, the Forum provides information about how and why The American Legion functions in the manner we do as an organization.
Plan to attend and ask a fellow Legionnaire to attend with you. Hope to see you there!
