If they know about the special military offer in advance most should be able to bring their dd214 or ID. I don't know how common it is to carry any of that with them. I just bring out my paperwork when I was applying for a job or for some financial reports. Either way, it's nice to treat veterans ina positive way however we can. Some have been through so much.
Task force Yankee in the house!!!!
I was in the Saint Louis Airport on Friday boarding a First Class Flight. I saw this Serviceman standing off to the side dressed in his full Army Attire. Sergeant to be exact. He seemed a little beaten down and was all by himself. I asked the ticketing personal if I could let him board before me, basically take my early boarding spot. (Come from a huge Military Family)
He was so appreciative and thanked me up and down. I told him "No thank you, because of men like yourself, I can be anything, do anything, wear anything I want in this Country." I was feeling so grateful that we have such a fabulous Military that is so ready when we need them. Especially when I see women still having to cover their heads in other Countries.
So here are my thoughts... what do you ladies think about starting a trend in the form of some sort of Military discount or added time given in a way of saying thanks for their service? I met an adorable young buck Marine about a month ago and told him I would add another hour as a way of saying thanks and he was thrilled. Even more thrilled when I followed through on my promise to him. Let me know your thoughts

being a VFW myself...
That goes without saying! I don't advertise it, but anytime I run into an active military
gentleman I just add it on... It may be an extra 30 minutes or something not really on my menu.
I come from a long line of Air Force and Marines so I love to pamper them. They totally deserve it and are always so appreciative!!!
I am a military brat, father was Marine and Air Force, 20 years and actually fought in Korea. I grew up around bases and still live next to a base. You are aware most people in the service the last 20 years only join for GI bill, job training, etc. Most never go overseas. I could understand giving a discount to returning from deployment or combat veterans, but not some smuck who is already sucking off the govt tit. I personally avoid doing business with any business/person who advertises such a discount to any serviceman, and that would include a provider. I find it distasteful and disrespectful to the people who have actually fought, suffered or died
hat was the biggest crock of bullshit I've seen on this board in ages and you're competing with some real talent for unadulterated bullshit...
I don't give a rat's ass what might motivate someone to put the uniform on, whether it be three squares a day, the potential educational benefits, true patriotism, or the got drunk last night, they've agreed to put themselves in harms way and their fate in the hands of sometimes not very bright politicians and/or senior officers..
The hooker you replied to is a nutcase as well.
So are the two who would fuck Snowden as a "reward".
Fucking ingrates.
But then these hookers scam the system for all they can as well. Why...because they're owed it. Sure wish they'd go and join all those who also hate this country...and see how that plays out for them.
Just some more crazies that this country needs to protect itself from!
think you kind of missed the point. Yes, I respect the grunts that sign up for Marines, or Army Infanty with the ideal of defending the country. Those guys are just a small percentage of the enlisted. I also respect the older guys who got drafted or volunteered during WWII, 4 if my uncles (1 KIA) and my father. However, one of my best friends has 3 kids that joined. None of them intended to go and joked about what to sign up for to stay out. All three never left California. Like alot of other things, know how to play the system.
I personally don't have a record (new probably guessed that). Since I was 7 or 8, all I heard from daddy dearest was I can't wait for you to turn 18 and join the servic, so I was probably conditioned to not feel very Rah Rah. I have always have a ""slight" problem with authority, plus, when I graduated in the late 70's, really only the dumber kids in school who had no chance of College or a decent job joined. Just the way it was in So. Ca
I myself grew up in a Military Family and my view is one of gratitude. I will wash the feet of any Serviceman willing to lay his life down for this Country (provided he isn't a mean jerk) so that I can be a free woman. It sounds like you had a completely different experience growing up in the Military. I am thinking maybe disappointments/ letdowns? Idk, I just sense some hostility.
If these men take advantage of the programs our Government has offered these men, then good for them. I'm sick of seeing people who don't have to do anything and receive them. They may get a grant for College, they may get signing bonuses. BUT when the US Military says Go They Go!
I'd have to kind of agree. Each time I saw the casualty number or read about the injuries, my heart dropped. I have to say, I think there might be of a dicount or bonus for those who were in harms way.
Then I see the regular enlisted based around the world - Germany, Japan, Texas......and I have to wonder what is fair
so I take it you are active duty?.![]()
As I'm a vet myself. But kudos to anyone that feels they should give military members a discount. Personally I think it's distasteful for any vet/active duty member to ask for discounts when they are better off than the majority of the country.
Why? Because you will get scammers trying to lie about it, and unless you are active duty or have some sort of proof, I won't honor it. I've seen a ton of active duty guys who are easy to verify.
In short, an honorable cause. I would highly support giving veterans and active duty guys a bit of a break...be it 100 off or more time. I will not; however, deal with random men who want to con their way into cheaper ass.
Full legal name and Military ID are required though, and most guys don't want to give that up. I would certainly never go on their word not knowing them.

That's the best way to go about it I think. Most off us have a dd214 and our ids still. I've seen people try to scam off of dog tags though and called them out because anybody can get those so don't just go off of them alone!

I've shown providers pictures of me in uniform on top of a howitzer. Is that enough proof for you that I'm a veteran? Or do I have to show you my VA id?
Others might not...can't speak for them. If you don't trust me with your info. don't ask me for any extras. Works both ways.
-- Modified on 7/1/2013 6:19:17 PM
Who says I don't trust you? Maybe I'm just too lazy to pull out the paperwork and don't know exactly where it is...I was in the ROK in the early 90s. It's not like I have it right here in my wallet.
And, you're not seeing 'me' anyway, so wtf does it matter lol. If you're "too lazy" to prove your service, then don't ask for the discount when someone offers it. Done deal. It is for guys who can PROVE they are not full of shit, and actually served the country!
Of course I'm not seeing you! It's a collective "you." You're foolish to think I would consider it. I'm an ass man, and you're nowhere near me. I've lived in Nawlins, and it's a godawful place, no need to go back there...I wanted to see how tough your standards were, and they're pretty ridiculous..Like I would waste my time photoshopping a picture of myself on a howitzer....And for the record, I have never asked for a discount. I don't need to prove my service to you or anyone else, for that matter! Who do you think you are, foolish little girl?
Dude, you made a statement about "What if I am too lazy to go look for the paperwork" and I said, then don't bother asking for a discount. You're turning a lighthearted thread into bullshit, and it's a moot issue! I said if you don't have the fkin ID, you don't get the discount...end of story! I don't care what you do personally, but this is a thread about what providers offer to military guys and what we require to give that offer. Done deal!
YOU asked ME a direct question, and I gave you my answer. I don't give a flying fk what YOU think about my standards and the men I am willing to deal with. I do just fine having some standards, obviously. I require full name and employment to meet locally, end of story.

But on the other hand that they are all heroes. Most had no options. the whole firefighter pension thing is a joke. You sign up and you know what you are getting. It's not like WW2 , Korea or Vietnam where you had no choice.
Not sure about Korea. The WWII guys rock.
I believe you are mistaken about WWII, there were many volunteers but there was the draft. The "draft" ended after Vietnam, the 70's.
Afghan women who did what you do to American service men were shot in the heads by the Talibans.
I'm confused? I don't get this one..
Make love not war ,
Hot women soldiers from any country , no fees from me .
He was so appreciative and thanked me up and down. I told him "No thank you, because of men like yourself, I can be anything, do anything, wear anything I want in this Country."

Good for you. They deserve it. And I was never in the service, so I'm being self serving by saying so.
But I did have this thought about how much of a sacrifice you're making by giving them the extra hour:
Let's see, you're gorgeous, great at what you do (I read some or your reviews), enjoy what you do, you're in your early 30's -- and you'd like to spend an extra hour having sex with chiseled young twenty-somethings who are horny and can probably recycle in 15 minutes or less. Oh yeah, I'm sure that's really hard work for you.
(Teasing!!! In case you couldn't tell.)
Yeah, Sometimes I have to pinch myself!

free time or a dicount.
Military guys make the best clients!
Great idea, and I applaud you, but hardly original. ![]()
I would be a bit put off if someone just asked me for something extra. I guess I should have added if you find out they are in the Military. As far as people taking this too far, I agree, there is always that one person that has to try and take advantage.
I guess if the situation is right and it feels good to you. Cute idea, not always going to work ![]()
and I have done this many times for a couple years now..I toss out 2 extra hours to my service men..Active duty of course..LOL
warning tho- some of the ladies can feel this is a plot to undercut or/and may seem desperate to earn funds..I got tons of hate mail when I first started this,.Now they just except it, moved on or jumped the same idea wagon..
Support our Troops after all they ARE keeping our tax dollars here ![]()
I'm taking nothing away from anyone who serves in the military, I could not be more proud of our country and the people that fight for it. I know that every square inch of this country a drop of blood was shed so we can be free.
I'm not looking for any discount so don't misunderstand. What about all the first responders that you keep you safe everyday in your own neighborhood? What about men like the ones that just lost their lives fighting a fire. I'm not making an argument for every excuse to get a discount, have never asked for one and won't accept it, but we are your local military.
MM
of gals would extend it to them, however everyone's point is proving what was done. Too many fakes will come out of the wood work to lie and get a discount.
agreed, and was my point as well. Every trick could spin some reason why he should get a discount. Many ride on the coattails of those that have earned that respect.
Sad but true
MM
employment verification you really can't get away with lying about something like that. And if you want that discount, you'd better be willing to be verified that way.
I'd certainly think about offering something like that.
This is what I was trying to explain to the asshat above. If you want a discount, you provide the information we require to get it, or go fk yourself. It's the same thing with a sugar daddy type deal...want the cheaper rate, you pay UPFRONT at the beginning of the month. Don't want to pay upfront, you pay the high rate per date like everyone else.
This is something that providers do not HAVE to do in the first place, and now you have idiots bitching about what is required for a discount that not everyone even offers. This is why so many don't offer shit, because there are always going to be those who think we should just take their word. Next...

Signing up is a choice. If they were forced(conscripted) then maybe. Yes they put their lives on the line but so do all first responders right here
