Talent can be described as just about anything—singing, dancing, lip-syncing, storytelling, spoken word, poetry readings, magic, card tricks, animal tricks, and feats of strength. Think of anything you may have seen on TV talent shows, and it fits for our contest!

Online Visitor Pass Portal

The Directorate of Emergency Services now offers an online visitor portal for visitors to apply for an installation access pass. Visitors can go to https://visit.gvt.us to apply online for a pass from their computer or mobile device.

Visitors will still receive a background check, and after entering their information, including a driver’s license or passport number, they will be notified if their pass is approved or denied. If approved, they can proceed to a kiosk at Visitor Control Center 1 for their photo to be taken and the issuance of their pass.

Although a sponsor is not required when applying for a pass online, visitors will still require a valid purpose for visiting Fort Carson. This could include visiting family or friends, food delivery, medical appointment or attending a ceremony.

Within Phase 1C of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Vaccine Distribution Plan, Evans Army Community Hospital is currently providing COVID-19 vaccines by appointment only to TRICARE beneficiaries 65 and older at the William “Bill” Reed Special Events Center. To book an appointment, please call the Colorado Military Health System Access to Care Line at (719) 526-2273. Vaccines are by appointment only, walk-ins are not permitted. Enrollment at Evans Army Community Hospital is not necessary for TRICARE beneficiaries to receive the vaccine.

Vaccines will be offered to additional Evans Army Community Hospital patients, including military family members and retirees, after prioritized groups and individuals have been vaccinated in accordance with the DoD Population Schema. Once we move to the plan's next population group, which includes high-risk beneficiaries age 18 to 64, we will update the community on social media and online.
