Remember the PX?

I remember walking around the east end of our runway at Phabulous Phu Hiep on my way to the PX where we could buy cheap beer (10¢ a can!) or ordering something from PacEx.  In fact, I ordered some Noritake dinner dishes from PacEx and had them shipped home; my son Tim and his wife are using them today! 

Sometime earlier this year I had heard that the PX system was finally opening its doors to us veterans who had faithfully served our country, but did not get the benefit of discount shopping that military retirees or active duty personnel and families have enjoyed.  My son Pete sent me an article from the local Bremerton newspaper about the new online Exchange and how veterans will be able to access it.

I have already used the website and find it easy to navigate and the prices are certainly competitive with other discount outlets.  Just follow the instructions on how to set up an account and shop ‘til you drop!
