"AAFES and Military Exchanges to Allow Veterans to Shop Online - Registration Now Open" [View all]

"Due to the changing environment and force reductions, the Defense Department’s Executive Resale Board voted to allow online access to honorably-discharged military veterans. This is scheduled to go live on Veterans Day 2017 and could return upwards of an additional $100 million to the military communities."

This went into effect back in 2017 but I just read about it a couple of days ago. I signed up and did some price checking. A 65" Samsung tv that my in-laws bought on Amazon a couple of weeks ago is over a $100 less at AAFES and the 4 year extended warranty they had purchased is $20 less.
