so a week ago, i get in the mail, my driver's license renewal..

now mind you, my CDL had been downgraded to an operator's license, for about the past 5 years now, (been on comp 5.8 years now)

this is acceptable to me, as i new i was unable to pass a DOT exam, and my future days of trucking, had already come to an end with that injury back in 2014.

but what my DMV did, was send along information, for the new REAL ID that we will all be needing to fly with in the continental U.S.

(or a passport)

so i checked out EVERYTHING that is required..

ss card....check

certified birth certificate....check

2 utility bills to prove residency.....check

current photo ID (my CDL)... check

so i go at 9 AM today, the the local AAA office, to get my new driver's license (class 10 operator's), and that new REAL ID as well..........

well, would you know it....

i was told there was a discrepancy in my paperwork..

oh geez...here we go....

well my birth certificate has my first, middle and last names, all spelled out.....

that's what they do......!

my ss card, has my first name, middle INITIAL, and last name.....

that's what they do......!!!!!

my driver's license has the same as my ss.......

that's what they do.....!!!!!

so now, i was told, i had to go to the DMV, and THEY make that "simple correction right there, as AAA cannot do that as an agent....

i tell the AAA gal..."forgedaboudit, just give me a regular driver's license, i ain;;t flown in decades.....

she said, "but if you do in the future, you will have to deal with it then"....

i said, "whatever, all this BS to prove i am an american".....

so there you have it, i just got a regular drivers license, that will arrive 1-2 weeks in the mail, of course i got the paper photo copy now, and they never took away my CDL that i thought they would have, so i will save that, for prosperity reasons....lol

now, as i see it, when the REAL ID comes into effect in October of 2020, i will not be able to enter federal buildings...big deal....that means i cannot be on a federal jury.........

of course, this could mess with my ss, whenever i need to go in person for something............

what a bunch of crock...........

the terrorists can just walk on in, or drive on by, or enter the states, at their leisure..... but WE AMERICANS, have to prove who we are.......

oh yeah, my new driver's license, cost me a mere $61.50, well less then the CDL renewal, hazmat test, finger printing background checks, which were about (in total) around $180
 
I hear ya pro it's total b.s., I mean you had hazmat with a background, check finger prints, etc. you had everything else which I feel is B.S. also had a lic for how long???? And you still have to jump thru hoops to renew your lic. Heck it's almost easier to get a passport than a driver's lic. Wife and I just renewed our passports took less time then getting lic.

well, i went and downloaded a passport form as well....

i left the "middle name" blank, and only used my middle initial...as this is how my driver's license is AND my SS card......it's the way things were done, back in the day..>!!!!!!!

when i get the time/money, i will go to the post office, and if i am told i need the full middle name, then hopefully, they will let me write it in at that time.

thing is, first time passports cost $145.

i do not know the renewal fee's.....

it will not end up being cheaper than having this done at the DMV, but it is all a waste of time issue for me...

even given, these days i have nearly all the time in the world now, because of stupid new mandates from homeland security we all have to go thru this BS...

America DID NOT LISTEN to the Israelis, way back when the first bomb went off at a high rise in NYC, and a few died and a few were hurt...

basically the American gooberment said..."we got this"....

yeah right... "we got sh!t"........

so they (the gooberment) went from the ridiculous to the sublime....


i think i will "enjoy" seeing on the news, the MASSIVE crowds at the DMV offices across the nation, for all those people that have to go thru several things, like...obtaining a certified birth certificate before thier drivers licenses expire.....so that they can renew thier current one.

then i wanna see the massive lines all across the nation at all SS offices, for people needing to get a new SS card, with THE FULL NAME printed on it......

oh yeah...good times are ahead....

stoopit gooberment......


and all the while, a terrorist can jump a fence, board a ship, plane, train, whatever else to get here, then hijack a truck, clean out a chemical supply warehouse......

and WE HAVE TO PROVE, we are the americans..????

If you would have walked in wearing sweat pants,Nike sandles, and faked an accent, you would have been good to go...
 
The REAL ID law was passed in 2005 based on the recommendations of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. Several politicians warned that a...Department of such size and scope,....will create a "1984"-style beaurocracy .......

Welcome to 1984.........All the crap about "voter fraud"....in spite of almost NO cases of voter fraud in the last 50 years(...except for North Carolina recently..) has come to fruition.......Now you have to "prove"...over and over......that you're an American....

And you ain't leaving the country without the "proper documentation"...(....Guy with the monocle and German accent : "Your Papers...Please!"

Oh,...by the way,.....Passage of that Act, and the placing of many independent Government agencies under one umbrella........stripped collective bargaining rights from 180,000 employees in 2005.

Collective bargaining rights are First Amendment rights..........In spite of what your boss tells you......

And.....We get to Pay for the Privilege to "buy" our security......
 
Plus I would get the regular book type passport instead of the small driver lic size one, found out we couldn't go on a cruise without the regular book style. Which maybe I was n't told about or didn't understand at that time.
If you got the application @ the post office & turned it in there, a good postal worker would have explained the diff. Or better yet a simple 1 page info sheet provided WITH the app could have done it. But, when did the US Government ever worry about good customer service? von.
 
I can feel your pain pro1

I went through the wringer when I did my fingerprints and back ground check accomplished.
My SS card had my middle name spelled out.
My Drivers License had my middle name abbreviated.
My certified Birth Certificate (long and short form) didn’t have my middle name.

I had to go to my local courthouse to get this fixed. It was quicker to drop my middle name instead of weeks waiting to go to a judge to add my middle name to my birth certificate.
This in turn changed a few numbers in my Drivers license number that I had memorized for 35 plus years.

TSA is getting very very strict.

i think it would be better if the gooberment grandfathered in the way it was, then maybe go back (say) about 5-10 years and make them (the newest generation) go thru this BS.

why should we (older generations) have to change things the way it was done back in the day and acceptable up until now..????
