Taxi and Uber drivers have to go through the same process as anyone, so you may have some problems getting them to take you on post. You might find it easier to get dropped off outside the gate. Even if they pull in intending to turn around, they may be forced to go through the security checkpoint.
I'm guessing it might be possible to call a taxi dispatcher and see if they have a driver that is already cleared. Maybe you can link up with another TubeNet-er?
You can walk on post via the 2nd Street gate (Hatfield). You would be subject to the same security protocols as people arriving in cars, aside from the car inspection.
If you have a US DOD ID you can walk in any of the gates.
The first time I attended (back in '99), I took Metro and walked on base from both the Rosslyn and the Arlington Cemetery stops. It was a hike, but I didn't bring my horn, and I got to sit down a lot anyway.
Can pedestrians still come on base via both the north gate (by the Marine Corps War Memorial/Netherlands Carillon) and the cemetery gate by the chapel?
