Just passing the word...

Looks like full PX privelages (including the Commissary) for all veterans. IME the Exchange isn't that much of a benefit, however, the Commissary can save a family a boat load on the cost of food.

That's great to hear.

I agree the BX/PX and NEX system isn't much of a benefit.
If you're looking for best prices on purses, high priced clothing, electronics and candles, well, they've got you covered.

Military clothing would be good

Not all:

Starting Jan. 1, all service-connected disabled veterans, Purple Heart recipients, former prisoners of war and primary veteran caregivers will be eligible to shop at commissaries and exchanges

I don't get shit out of this.

Maybe I should finally (25 years after EAS) go to the VA and fake some pains.

If you have a 0% disability rating, you have a service related disability. Anyone who applied for a disability rating gets 0%...which, when reading between the lines, means all veterans.

Depends on the base and branch of service. I know some Marine bases don't allow anyone but AD to purchase primary uniform clothing from cash sales/clothing stores. i.e. Socks can be purchased, but not uniform trousers, blouses or covers/hats. Shrug. With the exception of certain things (like the mentioned socks or polypro cold weather gear) there are better clothing options available today.
