masilke Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Just came back from the PX (Post Exchange). The Manager told me they were starting at 3 am . No luck on ad or even early bird items. I also asked her about pricematching again!! They will pricematch as long as the item is still instock at the store that your matching it from. Hassle Hassle Hassle, they always find new ways to discourage ppl to pricematch. Anyway I highly doubt that in the chaos of things they are really going to call Walmart, Kmart, Circuit City etc. to verify instore availability. So I guess I will be at the PX bright and early and still get in with the early crowd at WM!!!!!
teresa92 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I believe those are stores on military bases.
Booterbunz Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 For the love of God! 3am??? I don't think I'll be hitting them up this year! Ack! Masilke, off topic question, but how do you like rucker?
alimfp Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 THREE? Eeeks. Wayyyyy too early for me. That means you have to be up how many hours earlier than 3? LOL. No thanks.
ebony0421 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I wish our px started that early, I could get there and the mall too with no sweat at all. :gd_steeri

Masilke, off topic question, but how do you like rucker?Well....Where to start. Coming from Riley...........lol It is a very small post. Lots of retired folks.( ahem us included) The PX is small but the commissary is big.lolCost of living is somewhat cheaper around here. (compared to riley and carson I am sure)Post doesn't have many activities for Families, since this is mostly a AIT and Warrant school post. Other than that it is not that bad:g_dance: This will be my first BF here. We'll see how it goes. They already know me at Customer Service.
masilke Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 I wish our px started that early, I could get there and the mall too with no sweat at all. :gd_steeriThats what I am thinking!!!You can always ask your Manager. btw can I ask what post you are close to?
gijimenez Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I miss the PX and no taxes you guys are so lucky. Makes me want to join again.
ebony0421 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 We are at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. Our px is very small, but they are building a new one that will be ready next year. I will call the manager today and ask her a few questions, either she'll tell me or she won't .
masilke Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Cool !!! We have friends there!! But then again we pretty much have friends at all the army posts.lol

Booterbunz Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I've visited Rucker when hubby went to ALSE school a couple of years ago. I didn't enjoy my 5 day visit there at all! LOL It seemed confusing and way too small for me with nothing anywhere near there! LOL Carson is great for shopping and outdoor stuff...we have 2 malls, 6 walmarts, 4 targets and many other stores in doubles/triples! LOL But this place is expensive to live!

Did they mention gift cards? Which PX is that? Where are they? I'll have to ask at mine if they are doing that. Might not sleep that night to be in line early enough goodness Mara

ebony0421 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I just spoke to our px manager and she said the stores are doing gift cards and drawings for bf. She also said that she is giving away $10 gift cards on Veterans Day, so you may want to speak to your store manager and see if they are doing the same thing. :g_dance:

Booterbunz Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Go ahead rub it in!!!We were there in 94! You are def. right about being in the middle of nowhere.lolMaybe our next assignment will be better. Sorry? Actually, I think that hubby is puting in for Rucker. His unit is scheduled to return back to Iraq next fall for their 3rd tour, and they won't even get home from this tour to Iraq until December. So, he's hoping to get to a post that won't be sending him anywhere and unfortunately Rucker is one of the few left!
