I still remember the day we were checking inventory in the bunkers and found a huge box full of old bullet proof plate vest things pilots used to wear. Not like our IBAs and what not. But rated for up to a .50 supposedly. Not a single one listed on any sheet anywhere by the unit. They are no longer in that bunker.

GovX. Not everything on there is a great deal after considering shipping but I just bought a pair of Maui Jims for under $200.

Home Depot, public transportation, and Vettix

LinkedIn, Verizon, Home Depot, Vettix, and Promotive for a few other random buys like a Traeger.

Ticket or entrance fee discounts.

I always use mine at hotels for the military rate, and almost every store, where I live, thankfully gives a military discount, including restaurants and movie theaters.

SC2 not everyone works for a consulting company.

What's the LinkedIn discount?

👀 thanks!!!

My favorite discounts are usually related to clothing and electronics, like the 10% discount at Best Buy. I also enjoy getting discounted tickets to amusement parks and movie theaters, which is really helpful when I'm trying to save money. Always ask if a store or restaurant offers military discounts – you may be surprised at how many places do!

Best Buy is store specific. It isn't a Best Buy policy. I used to get it in Connecticut, but not in Mass.

The free lifetime entry to National Parks.
