About the Exchange Blog
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has been watching the corporate blogosphere evolve with various brands talking with real voices in conversations with their customers. We are excited to be able to take a more active role in the military community and hope we can contribute at least as much as we learn. The Exchange: Salute To Your Service Blog is not a “corporate” blog, but a blog where the Exchange will be celebrating the military family.
Of course, this is still a blog representing the Exchange, so you can appreciate there will be limits to what we can say and who we respond to, but our intention is to create a voice that truly represents who we are – a company of individuals who are military, former military, military spouses, and friends and family of military loved ones. We are excited and anxious to hear from you. We truly believe this will help us to become a better brand in servicing the “real” needs of the military community.
Now to introduce myself- I’m Leah Miller, your connection to the Exchange and blog editor. I hope you will enjoy the conversation here and be sure to keep watch for contributions from other employees, experts and friends of the Exchange.
Let me tell you a little about me. I’ve worked at the Exchange for just almost 8 years. Although I have previous retail experience, I’ve not had the opportunity to work in an Exchange store. I have been fortunate enough to get a ton of good experience in varying positions and work with many, many great people here. I feel very blessed to work for such an awesome place.
I love helping people. And I like to think that I’m pretty good at it. I think it’s because I realize that small things to me may be very important to someone else. And if you are taking time out of your busy day to address a situation, then it must be important.
I look forward to working and interacting with all of you!

I’d like to know if we have a place and where it is that maybe employees who have physical/mental chanllenges can go and get advice from others that may suffer with the same challenges. Perhaps someone had gone thru situations and found a way to handle it or work with it or thru it. This would be a very good help to me. I’m a Army Veteran and I do need the help. If someone sees this blog and even is able to pass it on to someone or a department in our agency (AAFES) that could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Todd, thanks so much for reaching out to us.
We recommend calling 800.508.8466. and our associates there will be happy to assist.
Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

Hello,
Don Abram Harris what’s to say Happy New Year to all troops
Excellent site, keep up the good work
I am searching for someone that can answer a question concerning a sales promotion that advertised a rebate on a computer. The company offering the rebate on behalf of the exchange no longer is in business and now I am left wondering what to do.
Joseph,
Would you please log into aafes.com and fill out a customer comment form here. If you have problems logging in to site, go ahead and send me (Lauren Vargas) details at [email protected].
