Do you get free postage with a military I.D.?

Question

Thanx to everyone that answered. It was something that I had heard and just wanted to know from people who really knew. I already know that I can get a discount at some stores with the ID and I did not say that the military was a welfare program. Maybe the one that said that should read my question again. thanx again

Answer 1

only from an APO/FPO to an APO/FPO.

Answer 2

Nope / did get free mail when sending from a combat zone for letters.
Better question is to ask if a store offers a military discount with military ID?

Answer 3

As noted previously, you can send letters and regular mail for free if you are in a combat zone (with an APO/FPO address).

My favorite thing to do when I was in Desert Storm was to write "Free!" in the top left corner of all my outgoing mail....

Answer 4

while i was in iraq postage was free for out going mail, but that didn't include packages. those we had to pay for. as far as i know any serviceman stationed in a war zone like iraq or afghanistan can send letters for free.

Answer 5

No not unless you are stationed overseas and can use the MPS systym between posts (APO - FPO, APO -APO). You do still have to pay regular postage for mailings back to the States.

Answer 6

Not that I know of!

WHen I was in the Army I had to by postage, just like everyone else!

Answer 7

No. What, you think the military is a welfare program?

Answer 8

Sometimes

While deployed, a service member can send regular mail for free.

Answer 9

No, but most bases have their own post offices.
