AAFES’ Commitment to the Community

Respect is a two way street. If you take the time to comment within the guidelines above and the Terms of Service we appreciate your contribution to the community and we will honor that contribution with the following commitments.

1. This blog is a conversational space where we will discuss issues relating to AAFES, however we can not always talk about all issues. Visit the AAFES site for official AAFES service information and other communications, here you will find conversation and (we hope!) entertaining content. We’d like to talk with you here on a one-to-one basis, as such we will not be able to comment on several regulatory or legal sensitive areas.
2. We will read all comments and respond as quickly as we can. We may not be able to always respond to all comments or questions, but rest assured every one will be read. Sometimes it may not be possible for us to publish or respond to your comment immediately (especially outside of business hours) but we will try to do so as quickly as possible. If you need to contact us the best way is via the contact details here.
3. We will strive to write regular interesting and entertaining content. We think the best way to show that we appreciate you spending the time reading the AAFES: Salute To Your Service Blog will be by making sure you enjoy your time here.
4. We will do our best to get involved with the wider blogosphere and give back to the community where possible. We understand we are not writing in a vacuum here. This blog is a dialogue in itself and is also a part of the wider dialogue happening in online venues everywhere. We’ll do our best to get involved in conversations outside of the AAFES: Salute To Your Service blog and we hope to link to and comment at the blogs of our regular commenter’s here.
