There’s a difference between retirees and veterans. Most folks who are receiving a retirement pension are doing so due to longevity of service - a minimum of 20 years.

The officer you mention is more than likely medically retired; and yes, is eligible to shop on Post.

Many more veterans left service under honorable conditions but with less time served than that necessary to retire. They do not receive shopping privileges.

Thanks for clearing that up. So, this card doesn't work for veterans because they can't shop at the PX. That's too bad, but at least it helps out active duty personnel.
