Unless I'm mistaken, to shop at AAFES stores, you must have a military ID, which means you are on active duty or you are retired military. There are lots of veterans who did not retire from the military, so we can't shop there. Just a mini-rant because there are some establishments that offer a "veteran discount" but what they really mean is active duty or retired military. (Sorry for hijacking your thread.)

I'm not sure if you're aware, but AAFES has an online store where non-retired veterans can also shop.
