How DARE AAFES!

I know, I know, this will more than likely insight some sort of uprising, but really AAFES? Praying on returning soldiers with the promise of a 2.9 or 3.8% interest rate on a new motorcycle while they are waiting to return home. Shame on you!

I'm SURE everyone can figure out what kind of call I got today from somewhere not in the continental United States. Let me tell you how that call went.

Him "hoooooooney" 
Me "HI BABY!:
Him "Hiiiii baby"
Me "where are you?"
Him "hoooooney, what would you think if I told you I bought a motorcycle?"
Me "what the @&*!%%*^(^*&*%^&@%#$!$@%!^%^*& are you talking about, please tell me that you did not sign any paperwork, I'm not sure you realize that we now have a mortgage to pay, and you are not 100% sure of a job when you get home, you better pray to the gods that you did not sign any paperwork because I'm going to kill you, I can not believe that you would do that without talking to me."
Him "I thought you'd be happy, that you'd think about holding on to me and hugging me"
Me "I can do all those things with out adding any payments to our bills, what in gods name were you thinking, how did you think I was really really going to react, you must be out of your !^#&(^%$%*^& mind......" etc etc, that went on for about another 20 minutes, and at the end he sounded very defeated and I felt kinda like a butt, well, not really. I mean, really? Really? Does AAFES sit there, and pray on them while they are waiting? COME ONE!!!

So, needless to say we DON"T have a motorcycle!

Have a good one

Of course they do that! Just like credit card companies go after college students, the companies don't care. Most companies love the military because if the Soldier doesn't pay his bills, they have a chain of command to go up. They probably use some great sales techniques--man, your wife won't be able to say no if you already got it or you put your life on the line and earned the money, you need to reward yourself.

It's BS, but glad you don't have a motorcycle!
