You only need a government issued ID to get onto the AFA, NOT a military ID.
The road you turn off from Pine Dr. is W. Monument Creek Road. The small dirt parking area is before the gates to the water treatment facility.
I highly recommend trekking poles for this hike. Obviously, people's interpretations of steep differ, and the very loose granite make for an interesting descent.
You can also visit the plane wreckage on this hike - see topo.
