Did you hear that soon all honorably discharged veterans will be able to shop at the on-line AAFES store?
I hadn’t heard that, but I think it’s a great idea.
Now, for the Capitalism approach. Although any credit card will be accepted, AAFES online will push patrons to use their Star Card (the AAFES-issued credit card). In fact, that has already started. That will pump additional revenue into the organization. Some of that additional revenue will fund MWR (Morale/Welfare/Recreation) accounts at installations worldwide...a good thing, since most are not at all self-sustaining and are at risk of being shut down. I’d hate to lose our Sportsman’s Center or Outdoor Recreation Center here.
Anyway, my 2 cents...
