Maybe I slipped in under the fence, but I’ve been shopping on-line ever since I retired (28 years) in 2007.
As a retiree you are authorized on-base exchange and commissary shopping as well. It’s part of your package. Not so for veterans, until now.
Retirees have always been able to shop online at AAFES. Now with sales down they needed to do something to get them up so DOD will let any honorably discharged vet use the AAFES online website. I’m retired also and the only savings in AAFES is the tax savings. The prices are about the same as off-base, with WalMart being cheaper. Amazon prices are also cheaper.
Yes you have, but this is for all other non-retired veterans.
We will be able to shop online only, not on base like you can.
Maybe save a few bucks while supporting the AAFES system!...................
this is opening the online sales to any veteran, not just lifers....
