 How can an employee provide employment verification?
Answer:  Employment verifications are now retrieved by the employee through My Biz.  If you go http://cpol.army.mil/library/benefits/2013-EV.html there are documents and information for Employment Verification as well as a link for My Biz.  Beginning Nov 1, 2010, the Department of Defense replaced 'The Work Number' for employment and salary verification and replaced it with a Self Service salary and employment tool. You can paste the following link in your browser: https://compo.dcpds.cpms.osd.mil/  and follow the instructions to access the Employment Verification Tool.
 How can I obtain a Recreation Use Fee Waiver for Military?

Waiver for Active Service Military Personnel and DoD Civilians in Support of Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO):  Day use and camping fees will be waived for active service military personnel and DoD civilians who are on mid- or post-deployment (reintegration) leave from duty in a hostile fire zone to include Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and other deployments to support the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO).  Active service military personnel and DoD civilians on leave will be required to show identification and leave orders/forms upon arrival to the recreation sites to obtain the waiver. The waiver will also apply to all immediate family members accompanying them on their visit.

The waiver will be applied to day use and camping fees. Fees will be waived on a walk-up and space available basis, as well as for reservations made through the National Recreation Reservation Service call center at: 1-877-444-6777.

However, fees will not be waived for on-line reservations made through www.recreation.gov.   This info is from: http://corpslakes.usace.army.mil/employees/usefees/waiver.cfm
