Or check out the cottages, RV sites and tent sites at Cheatham Annex around Cheatham Lake near Williamsburg, Virginia. Visit this Army <a alt=\"http:\/\/armymwr.com\/recleisure\/outdoors\/paths.aspx\" href=\"http:\/\/armymwr.com\/recleisure\/outdoors\/paths.aspx\" title=\"http:\/\/armymwr.com\/recleisure\/outdoors\/paths.aspx\">website<\/a> with information about all military recreation areas and campgrounds. Make sure you call to see if you need reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the tickets and tours office at your installation (or one in an area where you&#8217;ll be traveling) for what&#8217;s available locally. For example, at Naval Air Station Key West, you can get information and discounted tickets to local attractions, Florida theme parks, and bus tours for shopping, attractions and sporting events. For office locations, visit the <a alt=\"http:\/\/armymwr.com\/travel\/travel-offices.aspx\" href=\"http:\/\/armymwr.com\/travel\/travel-offices.aspx\" title=\"http:\/\/armymwr.com\/travel\/travel-offices.aspx\">Army<\/a>, <a alt=\"http:\/\/usmc-mccs.org\/itt\/ittoffices.cfm?sid=rf&amp;smid=2\" href=\"http:\/\/usmc-mccs.org\/itt\/ittoffices.cfm?sid=rf&amp;smid=2\" title=\"http:\/\/usmc-mccs.org\/itt\/ittoffices.cfm?sid=rf&amp;smid=2\">Marine Corps<\/a> and <a alt=\"http:\/\/myairforcelife.com\/ITT\/Programs.aspx\" href=\"http:\/\/myairforcelife.com\/ITT\/Programs.aspx\" title=\"http:\/\/myairforcelife.com\/ITT\/Programs.aspx\">Air Force<\/a> websites. You can also search for MWR and the installation in the MilitaryOneSource installation directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the national discounts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>1. <\/b>The Blue Star Museums program, through Sept. 7, with more than 2,000 museums offering free admission to active-duty, National Guard and reserve members and their families. Military ID cardholders and up to five family members can visit participating museums for free. Here&#8217;s a <a alt=\"http:\/\/arts.gov\/national\/blue-star-museums\" href=\"http:\/\/arts.gov\/national\/blue-star-museums\" title=\"http:\/\/arts.gov\/national\/blue-star-museums\">list<\/a> of museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>2. <\/b>Annual free passes at national parks that charge entrance fees or standard amenity fees. Passes are good for a year, and admit the holders and any accompanying passengers in a private, noncommercial vehicle in areas that charge per vehicle; or the pass holder and up to three additional adults at sites that charge per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get the pass in person at federal recreation sites that charge entrance or standard amenity fees, and show your military ID. Dependents of deployed military members with a DoD Form 1173 also can get a pass. If the service member hasn&#8217;t been deployed, the dependent may be the second signer on his or her sponsor&#8217;s pass. More information is available <a alt=\"http:\/\/nps.gov\/findapark\/passes.htm\" href=\"http:\/\/nps.gov\/findapark\/passes.htm\" title=\"http:\/\/nps.gov\/findapark\/passes.htm\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Got an opinion on AAFES?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s your chance to sound off on customer service at Army and Air Force Exchange Service stores. And through Aug. 31, shoppers who fill out a satisfaction survey from either their cash register receipt or their e-receipt will be registered in a sweepstakes for a $250 AAFES gift card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One winner will be randomly chosen each week from authorized shoppers who complete the survey that week. To be eligible, you must complete the survey and provide your name and contact information. Anyone eligible to shop at exchanges \u2014 from any branch of service \u2014 is eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2015 &#8220;is the year of the customer&#8221; at AAFES, said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Sean Applegate, AAFES&#8217; senior enlisted adviser, in an announcement about the sweepstakes and survey. &#8220;We want to hear from all of the customers so we can offer them the best service possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Base recreation areas and campgrounds offer a lot of vacation options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":100305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":13,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3302],"class_list":["post-58591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-off-duty"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"YQEQ3S654FGWRPZZG67FEJ77JA","arc_canonical_url":"\/off-duty\/2015\/07\/12\/consumer-watch-discounts-on-summer-fun\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
