"Active-duty service members, reservists, retirees, National Guardsmen and their dependents pay only ..."

Often times, veterans discounts are worded like this. Usually still works with any type of vet id.

Do yall think places intentionally wanted to exclude separated/discharged non-retirees? Was curious because the wording is kind of precise but usually enforcement isn't so strict.

Always assumed exclusion was the goal and never bothered to ask for the discount if “veteran” was not explicitly mentioned.

But all that’s gone change after reading this post 😈

Honestly? I think most civilian institutions just do not understand the terminology… The fact they then try and then distinguish is unfortunate.

Example: If a restaurant is offering a discount for active duty & retirees - I’ll flash my veteran card and have literally never had an issue, nor do I feel any guilt.

yea can see how they mighta interpreted that wording as being MECE

I've understood it as intentional given the massive difference in population size.

But never hurts to ask.

My DL says veteran. I've never not got the discount if it's offered and I ask.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
