      When does Camp. Walker in Daegu South Korea get their coupon cards?

      I am really getting upset with the commy in Ft Bliss, TX. Every time I go there is this little Asian lady that tells people where to go, I think she may be the head cashier. Anyway she has got to be the rudest person I think I have ever met in my life! Tonight I made some purchases and noticed that the cashier took all of my 5 coupons but only scanned . The lady at the customer service desk was going to give me my money for the coupon, but the asian lady wouldnt allow her. When I asked if I can just have my coupon back then, she said no. After arguing with her for 30 minutes, and finally telling her, that since the cashier didnt scan all my coupons that the store couldnt turn it in and get credit because that would be coupon fraud she finally gave me my coupon back. I am very sad that this store has gotten so out of control with the customer service that has been given. I have spoken to about 4 other friends of mine. They all have said that they dont like that woman either and 3 of the families has completely stopped shopping at the commissary because of the bad attitudes.

      Dear Lady at the Ft. Campbell commisary, THANK YOU!!!!!! You would think with so many kids on post that there would be more airplane buggies. Poor Gabe had been trying to tell me he saw one and wanted in it, however, I had my mind on the deal that was right inside the door. I was too late before I realized what he wanted and someone snatched it up. So , feeling bad about my mistake, I walked back and forth until finally we saw one, grabbed him and ran to it only to have a couple stick their kid in it right as we walked up ...... Big thank you to a lady checking out who switched her groceries to my regular buggy so Gabe could ride in the airplane one she had! It may seem goofy of me to have tried so hard to get him one, but I really felt bad about not paying better attention when he was trying to tell me

    • This is the 3rd time we have bought chicken from the norfolk commissary that went bad well before the sell by date. Speaking to others around here I know this is a pretty common occurrence.

    l advantage of not only the savings our case lot sales offer but also the additional savings you'll get by using coupons. And remember, our policy for redeeming coupons has not changed - it's the same for store and case lot sale purchases. We redeem coupons as specified by the manufacturer's terms and conditions written on the each coupon. So, if there are no other coupons linked to an item or provided by the manufacturer, you can use your coupon as specified. If you should have a question about a coupon, please ask to speak with the manager on duty or store director while you are at the sale. Our coupon policy applies to all of our commissaries, but the key to understanding how we redeem coupons is to understand that all coupons are manufacturer coupons, so we follow their redemption terms as printed on each coupon.

  8. GOOD MONDAY MORNING! We thought we'd start the week off by sharing a bit of history with you from the Naval History & Heritage Command:
    The First "Computer Bug". Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1947. The operators affixed the moth to the computer lo...
    g, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found". They put out the word that they had "debugged" the machine, thus introducing the term "debugging a computer program". In 1988, the log, with the moth still taped by the entry, was in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Computer Museum at Dahlgren, Virginia. The log is now housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, who have corrected the date from 1945 to 1947.

  10. HELP US GET THE WORK OUT: There are single Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airman who are unaware that they can shop at the commissary. At Camp Lejeune, the Single Marine Program sends Marines to the store to have the store director talk with them about their commissary benefit. How can we help others learn about their most valued nonpay benefit? (Photo by Cpl. Miranda Blackburn USMC)

    inventory, the product is immediately removed from store shelves. Although we are in the process of confirming if this product is in our stores, we wanted to put the word out to inform our patrons of the possible health risk. Our food safety officials are monitoring this recall for any updates. The following product is being recalled: Daniella brand mangoes – PLU numbers: 3114, 4051, 4311, 4584 and 4959. The mangoes were sold between July 12 through Aug. 29. The affected recall items are whole, individual mangoes. Salmonella can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, which can develop within 72 hours after eating the affected food. The illness can last four to seven days, and most people recover without treatment. However, salmonellosis can be severe or even life-threatening for infants, older people, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. Commissary customers are reminded that they can always return recalled products to the store of purchase for a full refund.

    awaii, Senator Inouye talked about the important role commissaries play in providing a benefit to military families and just how deserving those families are. The senator said, “But the primary beneficiary, our fiduciary, first and foremost is to America's armed forces and their families. We owe them an enormous debt of gratitude for their sacrifices on our behalf. Keep in mind that less than one percent of Americans are willing to step forward to wear our nation's uniform.’ Thank you, Senator Inouye, for stating our sentiments so eloquently.
