For TSA purposes I use a Passport card for ID. No thank you for your service and has very little PII on it.
Same with me -- I got a new one a few years ago when I had to get a new dependent ID card for Mrs. Flies. (The Commissary is about the only benefit we have left. ) Mine was "indef" but they took that opportunity to issue me a new one with the expiration as my 65th birthday. The other milestone that occurs at 65 is that you are no longer eligible for recall to active duty without special dispensation.

Oops -- just checked. It's actually 60 and being retired more than five years.
