cavscout73 0 #1 November 6, 2010 I got bored and have been looking at new gear so I did some legwork and figured I would pass it on to the rest of the military men and women out there.

cavscout73 0 #3 November 7, 2010 I didn't think that far into it . Can a mod go into the first post and remove just the discounts but leave the manufacturers and contact info on ? I can't edit first post Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The discounts aren't advertised because they don't want every guy looking for gear to say "Well, you obviously have your prices marked up if you can give the military xx% discount, so give it to me cheaper." Do you see these guys saying how much they sell gear to dealers? Im willing to bet the guys at Paragear, Chutingstar and the likes aren't really suppossed to go off saying they get such and such discount on gear. This is from an email I got from one of the listed manufacturers: Quote Please see the attached price list. Feel free to share this information with your other active duty jumpers, but please keep it out of public forums like Dropzone.com. We do not like to advertise these discounts.

spootch 0 #6 November 7, 2010 yep but it's still no secret there are millitary discounts. You are also required to show proof of service. Military service= dicount. They wouldn't do it if they didn't want you to have itI also never said the reason people join up is to get a cut on a kit. I think it's great manufacturers get behind and support troops.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you do a search you will see that the percentages have been posted before and you can see all the other manufacturers. From my experience with gear, the military discounts are pretty similar to dealer rates. There are some companies that don't have anything in stone but if you mention that you are in the military they discount it a bit. As for the poster above talking about not advertising the discounts, I don't think it is that big of a deal and it has been posted before. Most manufacturers if you ask them they usually tell you without proof of military service. The only time they seem to want proof is when you are buying.

bluetwo 0 #13 November 12, 2010 Thanks a LOT for posting that. I guess prices vary already anyway but it's just important to ask about a discount at the time, when you call or whatever. I'm glad to serve my country and I don't make a lot so every little discount or saving helps._______________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
