Was just reading an article where the Senate is piloting a plan next year by privatizing at least 5 separate commissaries. If it succeeds they may do more. What are your thoughts? Is this a good/bad move? Benefits? Downsides? If love to hear what everyone thinks. Original article link below.

Give DECA to AAFES. Not only will this get rid of the massive tax bill the gov pays for them, but they will generate funds for MWR. Tax free isnt really tax free just because they call it a fee. DECA is a waste of tax payers money.

I would love to see AAFES take over. Connect both entities, same building like a Walmart Supercenter/Super Target/Fred Meyer. I have seen one example of this happening (GTMO) where AAFES ran both in one building and thought "why can't we do this everywhere". I am sure there are supply issues, but this would be an amazing idea.

The commissaries may not be standardized which is how the whole military system works. The quality of service and products may go up or down depending on the region. I'm against.

I always liked the atmosphere in the commissary and the volunteers that worked there. Not sure how I feel.
