Exchange Celebrates Military Brat Associates with Then & Now Series

March 17, 2025 |
In honor of Month of the Military Child, the Exchange is celebrating associates who grew up in military families with a special Then and Now series.
If you’re a military brat, the Exchange’s social media team would like to share your story.
Associates are invited to submit a childhood photo along with a current Exchange photo and a short statement on a life lesson from growing up in a military family that helps in your job today.
Submissions can be sent to socialmedia@aafes.com with subject line: Associate-Military Brat. Â
Photos will be featured on Exchange Associate social media throughout April.
