Your son really should get out the habit of taking the card abroad with him. Whilst the USA is a friendly country and very respectful towards veterans and members of the military, not all foreign countries and their police/security forces have the same attitude.

You probably have an RAF F1250, then. Or have they all been combined?
However, your comment on current regulations is
very pertinent. Leave it at home and blag it, then!
No it's an MOD 90 now. The RAF F1250 was before my time so I don't know exactly when it was phased out in favour of issuing all UK armed forces with the same ID card.
