Manassas, Virginia – Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in reflex sighting technology has launched a new webstore, www.aimpoint.us. This new site offers consumers the ability to engage with Aimpoint and purchase the company’s products directly.
U.S. Military, law enforcement, EMTs, firefighters, private security, and state, local, and federal government employees will find access to discounts on Aimpoint products at the new webstore. To gain access, qualified individuals need only register by creating an account, and provide proof of affiliation from a list of acceptable documents. This program is available to both active and retired personnel. Further information regarding this program can be found on the Aimpoint Law Enforcement/Military Discount program page.
DO NOT , DO NOT scan your CAC or other DOD issued ID to sign up for this or any other military discount program. It is a security of the US and prosecutable in the same way as copying US currency. A DD214 (as noted), or DD4 or DA71 (or equivalent) for currently serving personnel, should be sufficient. In all fairness, they do have a number of “club memberships” with the “etc.” note as that last bullet, so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
I always wonder why companies so familiar with the military still ask us to scan our CAC and send them the copy. Website says a document with official letterhead, maybe a memo is better?
Or maybe, you, know, use your .mil email address?
Great catch. You may have just saved some poor Joe from UCMJ. But honestly, AIMPOINT should know better.
Thank you Aimpoint.
Your Mil.com or LE/Gov email should suffice. ID that good enough for you Aimpoint?
It really shouldn’t. I know plenty of people with .mil emails that don’t come close to needing or really even benefiting from this.
Did you see who qualifies by clicking on the link? I think they do qualify, Thanks for trying though.
A great company with great products. Very kind of them.
