EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  Now in its 10th year, Army & Air Force Exchange Service's education rewards initiative is anchored by a booklet chock full of complimentary offers for students in grades one through 12 who maintain a "B" average or better.

The current "You Made the Grade" booklet includes coupons for a free regular 6-inch combo meal from Subway, complimentary admission to a Reel Time theater and $2 off any new release DVD. Each booklet also contains an entry form for a quarterly drawing in which three winners are randomly awarded savings bonds in $2,000, $3,000 or $5,000 denominations.
"All authorized exchange shoppers, who are full-time students, are eligible to pick up a booklet and register for the savings bonds every time they receive a qualifying report card," said AAFES' General Manager, Nancy Sweet. "The program offers a terrific practical learning experience for our military students; it pays to learn."

To receive the AAFES "You Made the Grade" booklet, students must present a valid military ID card and proof of an overall "B" or better average to their local base exchange. Students may receive one coupon package and enter the savings bond drawing for every qualifying report card. Military families can contact their local AAFES Main Store Manager or General Manager for more information at 850-678-6842 ext 231.
