The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) is a major source of employment for members of the Army and Air Force Family. Approximately 25 percent of the more than 48,000 Exchange associates are military Family members. Another 1.9 percent of associates are military members who work part time in exchanges during their off duty hours. Now in its second century of service, the Exchange remains committed to its mission. The Exchange provides products and services to authorized customers worldwide and generates earnings to supplement appropriated funds for military morale, welfare and recreation (MWR) programs. Earnings fund new and improved exchange stores with most of the earnings going to MWR programs. Exchange shelf prices provide customers an average 22.09 percent overall savings compared to the competition. Customers can enjoy exchange benefits in many ways, with the greatest value being the Exchange pledge to Go Where You Go. The Exchange is focused on retaining Army spouses through its employment continuity program. Participation is voluntary and will offer non competitive priority category placement for one year at the new location for Family members that relocate with their military spouse. Local Employment Readiness Program personnel are encouraged to initiate a local partnership if an existing partnership does not exist.For more information, visit: http://www.applymyexchange.com/
