I'm in need of someone with base access who can do me a solid. I'm working with a mission organization and we need self rising corn flour, and the bx is the only place here that has it. I'm out of the AF and my ID is expired. Any current/retired servicemembers in town with some free time?

You do know that if a person gets caught buying items on Base that is not for their own use, that they chance loosing base shopping privileges?  Most of us would not even chance that!!!!

losing base shopping privileges for buying some self rising corn flour... doubtful.  

Did the OP get his flour?

Didn't get it, but we improvised.  Sorry, wasn't aware that there were actually regulations against buying for someone off base, wouldn't have asked if I knew.

If you havent been there yet, try Red Apple in The View. They often have stuff no one else in town carries.

Abuse is one thing... buying a bag of flour for somebody that they can't find off base, that's another.  I was once told, "don't do anything your career can't handle."  I think my career and BX privileges would have been fine.

You would be surprised at how quickly folks get torqued up over perceived PX abuses.  I agree this seems pretty insignificant, but could potentially land you in hot water if it was investigated.  It probably isn’t worth losing access privileges to the PX over a bag of flour.

Yeah but you are a DOORGUMMER on the space shuttle..   LOL.
I doubt that IG could bother you if you bought and GAVE away some flour. else every single canned food drive in town would be suspect..
