Our position has been that a person should have a staged release when leaving the Armed Forces, and people should be releasing with a picture ID and a VAC account. They may use that account. They've got 120 days to apply if there's a problem at the time. That card could go in a dresser and sit there for 30 years, but they should be able to bring it out and run it through if and when they get problems later in life. Your questions didn't really cover that, but we have a very strong position on that. There should be a staged release, picture ID, and a VAC account when you leave.
