DoD Dictionary of Military Terms

0 comments

So while reading the Navy Times I came across this neat little dictionary. Thank god it isn't like the Urban Dictionary, trust me I learned about that dictionary the hard way, but instead the DoD Dictionary of Military Terms. This is a really neat dictionary because if your spouse comes home spewing their acronyms and you have been dealing with sick kids and paying bills all day, well now you have a resource to help understand what they said without making them repeat it over. Not that you may really want them too repeat because of that splitting headache you've just developed, but hey my theory is always try to stay in the loop.

So follow the link here to get to the DoD Dictionary of Military Terms (military education)
or follow the link here to get an idea of what your children are learning on the educational school bus aka Urban Dictionary.


Both educational in their own right!!! Beware of them both as well!!!!

Military Discounts For Cellular Service

0 comments




I have slowly been drafting this post because I wanted to provide you all with the most accurate information regarding MILITARY DISCOUNTS on cellular carriers. Generally all major cellular carriers do offer some form of discount off of your base plan. It has been my experience that you really need to be attentive to this though in order to make sure that you do receive the discount. I have dealt with a few of the companies and usually they are very good about giving the discount, but it is difficult sometimes making sure that a Military Discount for cellular services is in fact active on your account.


Cellular carriers generally offer between a 15-20% military discount.  Military discounts apply to most carriers. You may be able to leverage other carriers to match these military discounts. You may also need to provide proof of Government employment - such as your supervisor's name, phone number and your unit's address, along with your CAC card. With that in mind I  have contacted the companies below and to the best of my knowledge and hopefully theirs too confirmed each discounts!


SPRINT
Sprint Nextel’s Sponsorship Program offers a 18% military discount on monthly service plans. A two year service agreement must be established or an existing Sprint Nextel service agreement must be renewed for an additional two years to qualify for the discount. Additionally, receive a free accessory pack on select devices - and there are additional monthly promotions. With the family plan each additional line after the primary line incurs a $9.99 per line per month add-on charge (includes unlimited Mobile-to-Mobile). The plans allow for up to 5 phones on the same account. The activation and shipping fees are waived. Up to $200 early termination fee applies to each line. You may contact Sprint Nextel at 1-800-777-4681, 1-888-788-4727 or 1-800-639-6111. You may also access the Sprint Nextel Discount web page or visit the nearest Sprint Store. The BPA number is W91RUS-06-A-0002.

AT&T
AT&T Military Discount offers 15% Monthly Service Charge discount available to active and retired military personnel, 2yr. contract required. Handset Pricing: Business 2 year equipment price or best retail offer. Standard IRU validation requirements: Must show valid government employment ID at retail point of sale or validate online with a recognized government email domain (.gov, .mil, ET AL.) via our online eCommerce site.


Military FAN/Code:


Army - 2421660

Navy - 2421954

Air Force - 2421652

Marines - 2421958

Coast Guard - 2422480


T-MOBILE
T-Mobile's Sponsorship Program offers two phones for free (Nokia 6103 and Samsung T209) and up to a 15% service discount per month. After a $50 mail-in rebate, the Motorola RAZR (Magenta and Silver) and Samsung T509 are free; the Blackberry Model 8700, Blackberry Pearl and MDA are $199.99; the Blackberry Model 7290 is $249.99; and, the Sidekick III is $299.99. The service agreement is for two years, an activation fee ($35-$75) is required and a $200 per line early termination fee applies. Family time plans (minimum 2 lines/maximum 5 lines per plan) pool the minutes together at $9.99 per phone add-on charge per month after the first two phones. The attachment provides the T-Mobile Sponsorship Rate Plans. The BPA number is W91RUS-06-A-0004 and the link to T-Mobile web page. You may also contact T-Mobile at 1-866-464-8662 and reference Promotion Code 1080TMOFAV. Oh and they do not offer discounts on any of their FLEX Accounts.T-Mobile Call 1-866-646-4688. No additional contract required. Their military discounts are: Activation Fee: Waived, Voice rate plans: 9.3%, Data Standalone plans: 3.3%, Add on features: 5.3%, Blackberry Plans: 3.3%, Equipment: $20 off, Overages: 11.3%, Long Distance: 11.3%, International Long Distance: 11.3%





Verizon Wireless
Verizon Wireless does not participate in the Sponsorship Program under the new BPA (W91RUS-06-A-0001). However, Verizon Wireless does offer a 15% discount on monthly plans costing $35 and above and 25% off accessories for all Federal Government employees through its Consumer Accounts Department. Verizon Wireless offers three phones for free (CDM 180, PN-120 and LGVX3450). The service agreement can be one or two years. The activation and shipping fees are waived.

ALLTEL Wireless

ALLTEL users in Virginia and have recently been told that if you pay your bill online there is an "account information" update where you can list the active duty email address instead of your home email and receive a 15% discount on your bill. With that in mind you must use your .mil address in order to receive this discount.



Cingular
Cingular offers a 19% military discount. Call 1-800-319-6393. Update: for Cingular's discounts to take effect, you will need to sign up for at least a 1-year service agreement. With a .mil email address, you can sign up for the discount at their website.
