Just placed my first order and for giving them my email to receive specials, they gave me a 17% discount off my first order. Found a few things and XYL has always wanted a smoker. Bought her one (gotta buy a brisket when it arrives). Bought some maple and hickory chips with it. On my first order with the discount, saved an extra $45. No tax and everything will be here in 3-7 days. About time Vets get a little recognition from the government. 73...bruce On 7/30/2017 9:55 PM, Jeffery MacMillian via BVARC wrote: They found me and I am in the system. :) I think I signed up for the TAX FREE Liquor of the month. :) I guess if I have any $$$ left in November I will give them a shot.

Went all over there web site and found a chat box and tried to chat with them and got an automatic message that they could not chat now. They did give me a 1-844-868-8672<tel:%28844%29%20868-8672> and I called it today and got a real person in Dallas Tx and she got me to the web site to fill out the request to have my records sent to VetVerify. They said it could take 5 days to get a notice of sending it to VetVerify. When they get the info they will notify me to go back to VetVerify and refill out the form. Hope this helps everyone.

I tried to register today but the Vet Verify site couldn’t find me in the system. When I was on active duty we had a Service Number.we didn’t use the SSN. But I have my original DD214 and my official Honorable Discharge (suitable for framing) papers. It is crazy, since I purchased two different homes with my VA benefit. So now I am going through the inquiry process with VA. I hope this will get cleared up by November ☹. 73, Ron, K5HM [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.qrz.com/db/k5hm<http://www.qrz.com/db/k5hm> [ARRL Logo][logo (2)][smaller Prize] Excelsior!

The law changes on November 11, 2017, Veterans Day this year allowing ANY honorable separated veteran the right to purchase from the exchange. You need to pre-register. Go to shopmyexhcnage.com<http://shopmyexhcnage.com>. On the right near the top is a box.... Veterans Online Shopping Benefit.... Take the first step.. Click on it and it takes you to vetverify.org<http://vetverify.org>. That is where you register. Then on November 11, 2017, you will have access to create an account at shopmyexchange.com<http://shopmyexchange.com>. I got lucky, someone was looking out for me somewhere. I registered two weeks ago and the other day, I received an email to create my exchange account and start shopping now as a Beta test for the exchange. I have been perusing the goodies and one thing I looked up for my daughter was some Whey. On Amazon, it was $58 and in the exchange it was $29. Not everything is as deeply discounted. Also, all purchases are tax free. Anything over $49 is shipped free, under $49 is a flat $4.95. And... they match prices with walmart, target, amazon. What could be better. Hope this will help some of you that are vets or have a vet in the family. It sure put a smile on my face. 73...bruce -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards AMSAT Board Member 2016-2018 ARRL Awards Field Checker (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com<http://www.amsatnet.com/> Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org<http://www.arrl.org/> AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Message delivered to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Message delivered to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Message delivered to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards AMSAT Board Member 2016-2018 ARRL Awards Field Checker (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat
