If you are in the marines overseas it doesn't make sense that you wouldn't have a military passport. especially if you are a dual citizen. When my Dad was in the Army they issued each family member a passport when we got orders to go overseas....
that withstanding...under the current guidelines, you have to have a US passport to re-enter the U.S. unless you have a visa...you say you have a visa (which also doesn't make sense...if you have dual citizenship, there wouldn't be any need for a visa...) so you will be able to travel in the US provided the visa is valid, and is for the US. BTW. It is possible to get a passport in under 24 hours, especially if you are in the military. Ask your commanding officer about ways to go about this...
Are you the person in the military or asking this on behalf of someone in the military? I'm asking because it doesn't sound like you have knowledge of the situation...
So....you can fly to mexico...but you can't fly to the US...you have to have more than your military ID to enter the US, once you go into Mexico. I'm taking it that you don't look white or have another kind of valid US ID??? At the border crossings when you are driving back they will give you a hard time unless you have a valid military ID and another form of ID as well, like a driver's license.
This whole thing sounds to me like you are going to try to travel to mexico and get back using someone else's military ID and passport. I wouldn't recommend it. Get caught using a fake FEDERAL issued form of identification like a passport or military ID, and you will go to prison...they won't just deport you....you will go to prison.
I mean, the very question you ask proves that you are a fake!!! Why would the Marines send you overseas w/ no passport for you to get back into the country with??? It doesn't make sense. I had a military issued passport....and so should you.

You will be able to get into Mexico no problem but you will not be readmitted to the US without a passport.
Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration Card, Form I-551, if applicable.

1. you can't have U.S. citizenship and also a valid visa for the U.S.
This confusion implies some deception on your part
2. you can't travel internationally with only your military ID (unless you are traveling on military orders) because that is not proof of citizenship. That alone will NOT get you back into the U.S.
3. you can go to mexico with your mexican passport. you can come back to the U.S. with your mexican passport as long as you have a valid U.S. visa in there or a green card or re-entry permit
4. if you have a U.S. Naturalization certificate, then you can get a rush U.S. passport thru your military office or you can apply thru a company that specializes in rush passports like International Visa Service 1-800-627-1112.

The U.S. Government does not recognize dual citizenship with any country. As of January 1, 2007 you are required to have a valid U.S. passport to travel outside the U.S. and re-enter. If you are in the Marine Corps and overseas you should already have a passport through the corps.

The January 23, 2007 rule is for air travel entry only The rules for entering the US by land or sea do not take effect until January 1, 2008.
If you're going to fly to/from Mexico, you must have a passport to re-enter the US. If you're going to drive to TJ, you will only need the normal forms of identification when re-entering the US.

Well, if you're in the US armed services, then I dont think having a US passport is going to be so critical, as long as you have some valid military ID.
You dont need a passport to go into MX from the US. So, you want to come back to the US first. Then travel to Mexico. It shouldnt be a problem. Coming back, show your ID.
If you have any civilians with you, then those people will absolutely need US passports to come back.

Actually, the new passport policies don't begin until January of 2008. They're going to continue to delay it because they haven't gotten the expected rush of passport applications. To answer your question, that isn't a good idea. You will have trouble getting back into the U.S. if you don't have proof of U.S. citizenship with you.
