Very happy AAFES keeps having this deal. I've gone from M2 to M4 Airs but may need to hold off until they have higher than 60hz screens. Double the storage is a very welcome change, though

Can a person with no military connection still get this deal?
No, not really. You can go read on their website, but you would basically need it to be a gift from an acquaintance in the military.

Military only? Does law enforcement count?

My old recruiting stations are open. They'll even give you a MacBook direct from AAFES, plus bonus (up to 40k) quick ship bonus. So you'll have permanent access after you graduate basic/osut/AIT officer.

Remember if you have a AAFES B&M. Sometimes there are 5-7% promo codes for in-house. YMMV obviously, but I've used 2 over the years for my gaming laptop and getting my mother a newer air.

Best deal for Exchange online is also Home Depot. You get the 10% off plus no tax if you purchase online. Usually free shipping too.

and what is the DoW?? . It is not the legal name, as only Congress can change statutory department names.

Well, you can bring it up with your congressman or senator when you talk to them. Also, ask them what happened to the Gulf of Mexico, it seems to have gone missing.
