for other poor non-americans like me, who heard the term aafes first time in their shitty non-freedomy life:
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES, also referred to as The Exchange and post exchange/PX or base exchange/BX) provides goods and services at U.S. Army, Air Force, and Space Force installations worldwide, operating department stores, convenience stores, restaurants, military clothing stores, theaters and more nationwide and in more than 30 countries and four U.S. territories.
due to public Health concerns the US government will stop operating Army, Air Force and Space Force installations worldwide
That would be nice
if only…
As an American who didn’t know and was afraid to ask, thank you. Had no idea. Now I wanna see some of that sweet sweet space force merch.
You know how the Army has soldiers, the Navy has sailors, and the Air Force has airmen? The Space Force has “guardians”.
Dont be afride to ask questions. Remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.
I guess you have an internet capable device in your vincinity. If you are afraid your fellow americans would make fun of your crippledness,you can use an internet search engine on that device without notifying your peers!
I am an American and this is the first time I’ve heard of AAFES
They don’t really have any presence outside of military bases and embassies, so if you don’t exist in those circles, you wouldn’t have been exposed to them.
So Middle Eastern people know about this?
If they have bases access, sure.
Same ngl, I just assumed it was some health agency
Not many people who never served would know, tbh.
Fuck bruh just go to the NEX. Always a vape shop within 100 feet.
French is a hilarious language

If you smoke, you better start vaping. If you vape, you better stop vaping. It’s that simple.
If you can’t, at least don’t use throwaway and sketchy products for anything you plan to inhale.
Vaping is probably better for your health, but holy cow, are my friends addicted to vaping now. Vaping is so convenient and tasty, they go through several pens a day specially on the weekends.
I miss the early wick days where the vape pens shot screaming hot oil into your mouth and occasionally the wicks would burn from getting to close to the coil or just dry burning.
Nothing made me quit smoking faster than that.
I suspect this is because they have, weirdly enough, too low of a nicotine dosage in their eliquid. So they end up inhaling way way more flavored glycerin and glycol than they otherwise would.
Prohibition has been a dramatic failure every time it’s ever been tried.
This is more like “We don’t sell cider because it might be harmful to your body with all the alcohol and how it tastes of apples, here have some pure ethanol instead”
“We’ve stopped selling paper due to the danger of paper-cuts for people. We will continue selling firearms and ammo.”
This photo is like 5 years old.
I thought it might be, I used to work at the Navy Exchange about that long ago and remember taking that stuff off the shelf.
