find a veteran and have them take you to a PX yea... that's never panned out...  than find a police officer. seesh, there's lots of non mil people who can buy from the px From a General Discussion topic where I was looking for .mil boots size 10 EEE |
| I don't know if LEO can buy at the exchange, but I don't think they can at Robins AFB. I could be wrong though. You should buy your boots online or at a surplus store. There's nothing special about the boots sold in the exchanges, they're available on the civilian market too. Hell, I haven't looked at a catalog lately but Brigade Quartermaster used to carry all the exact same boots that I had to choose from at the exchange. Even if you did get a vet to take you to the exchange I bet they would have to special order size 10 EEE anyway. |

There must be some affiliation with the DOD: Active, Reserve, Retired, Civilian employee (civil service with DOD - and I'm not even sure about this one). Must be another case of "LEOs aren't civilians". If a .mil person buys something at the exchange, it is supposed to be a bonafide gift. However, I think people buy on behalf of others all the time. I've never seen it enforced. Having said that, while sometimes you can find deals at the exchange, you are generally better off going to a surplus store. (Although I did scarf up some brand new Camelbaks for $13 each one time.)
