[QUOTE="SArnold30, post: 2574382, member: 113697"] Don’t want to further derail the convo, but I believe he’s referencing CA, and he’s not fabricating. Their income information is publicly available and you’d be astounded at the salaries they’re pulling in. Rookie firefighters easily clear $100K, in 2017 the local county fire chief pulled in close to $400K when we had some big burns. There’s state beach lifeguards making $200-300K. Heck, my BIL is a law enforcement deputy making north of $230K and he primarily works from home. Riddle me that. That said, in no way do I mean any disrespect to the first responder community, my great grandfather was the fire chief back home, his father was a police officer, and I’ve got several friends that are LEO or FD. I also understand what it’s like to lay my life on the line, as I am a veteran and I appreciate the discount (oh and I have used Hammer’s discount before, thanks Steve and Brian!) I think the solution is simple in theory: you’ll need people to create accounts and choose to have them submit either a DD214, ID cards (most likely for active duty and first responders), or a letter from the VA. I’d like to hope that if someone has the mental capacity to make an online purchase, they’ll find a way to submit one of those requirements to you for verification for their account. [/QUOTE]
