Hey guys,
Just ordered two, (blue and gold) for my wife and I. Being in the Marine Corps, I was able to get the federal gov't discount. Definitely helped! They ended up to be $224 each and even got a $2 discount on the iTrip. Looking forward to getting it....it should definitely come in handy during deployment. Hopefully i'll have a place to charge it once in a while...
So just in case anyone else here has a federal govt job and didn't know about the discount....now you know.

There's a military discount? Thats pretty cool. I have no idea why they have one since guys in fatigues tend to be less impressionable than schoolchildren, but whatever.

:rolleyes: Maybe because they are doing their jobs and risking their lives to help put an end to terrorism? :rolleyes: Did I mention I'm in the military and have been for almost 13 years?:o

What do you do in the military? Have you brought you're MP3 player with you on deployment? I was wondering what peoples experience with that has been. I'm sure it depends on where you are. I don't think I'd bring it with me if i knew I'd be staying in a hole in the desert, but being in aviation, I'm hoping they'll be some access to an AC outlet somewhere.

I'm not trying to demean what you're doing, I'm just approaching it from a purely economic perspective. Its rare to see companies being altruistic nowadays.
Now go kick some terrorist ###. ^^
