I used to run with military divers in the 80s , most of the time they filled there tanks on base / ship.

I was wondering if they are on vacation ( away from base) do they need a c card to get filled ????
 
unless the filler knows them as divers then the answer is yes, some type of proof of ability.
 
My friend was a diver in the marines. When he got military certafied, they asked him if we wanted a NAUI card for an extra 40 bucks. A log book might help get fills without a card
 
When I was in the Navy, they paid for us to get a civilian cert. in order to get tanks filled in foreign ports. We didn't have a breathing air compressor on the size ship I was on and if there were no tender ships nearby, it made getting the duty tanks filled easy.
 
It's easy to get a c-card if you have documentation you've completed dive training in the US Armed Forces. That training far exceeds any civilian training from any agency. Present me with the documentation and I'll send off for a card at cost.
 
You do need a C-Card, but many training organizations can provide it without the class, based on your proof and credentials. Looks like Walter can hook you up if needed.
