FORT GREGG-ADAMS, Va. – The Army and Air Force Exchange Service continues to serve the military community at Fort Gregg-Adams with its expanded tax-free shopping benefit to Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians.
AAFES has roughly 4,500 DOD and Coast Guard civilians who are eligible to shop in-store at the Exchange within a 30-mile radius of the installation, according to information from Jennifer Posadas, the office assistant to the general manager for the facilities at Fort Gregg-Adams, the Judge Advocate General School and Fort Barfoot.
“Every shopper of the Exchange helps improve the military community and the benefit for service members and their families,” she stated. “We welcome our DOD and Coast Guard civilian employees to take advantage of the convenience and familiarity of military exchanges.”
In 2021, in-store and online shopping privileges were expanded to about 575,000 Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians who hold Common Access Cards in the U.S., its territories and possessions. Retired DoD and Coast Guard civilians can shop online only.
“Civilians who work side by side with Soldiers, Airmen and Guardians to accomplish the mission of freedom and defense of the Nation are an important part of the military community,” said Fort Gregg-Adams Exchange General Manager Lajima Marshall-Pierce. “By shopping with the Exchange, they help improve military quality of life as 100 percent of Exchange earnings are invested into their communities.”
The tax-free shopping benefit provides access to name-brand restaurants and services; mall stores and vending; proprietary credit solutions through the MILITARY STAR® card; and national brands tax-free with military-exclusive prices.
Purchase restrictions at Exchanges apply. Shoppers can visit aafes.com/exchange-stores/patrons-merchandise/patrons.htm for details. In-store shopping privileges for active DoD and Coast Guard civilians outside of the U.S., its territories and possessions are subject to host-nation agreements.
