Confused about who can use PX at military bases?

Question

My dad is a Navy vet who never used the PX system before for buying things. 
The base website says the following about eligibility:
Honorably Discharged Veterans when hospitalized or certified 100% disabled.

If you are an honorably discharged vet who was not injured/disabled, then you don't have any base PX privileges?

AAFES is there for:
Active duty and their dependents with ID cards
Reirees and their dependents with ID cards
100% disabled veterans
Vets who are hospitalized on base or in a VA facility where there is an exchange.

Folks who just served their time and got out or were relieved of duty are not authorized users.

I don't really understand how you are confused .... is your Dad 100% disabled or currently in a medical facility on a base with a PX. If he meets none of those criteria, then he does not get to use the facility.

How are you confused?

Yes, you can. You can use your Star Card at ANY AAFES run facility. BX, Movies, Gas Station, Class Six, all of them. EDIT: Maybe it depends on the branch. AF theaters are still run by AAFES. In fact, when I did a mystery shopper experience for AAFES, I even got AAFES movie theater passes.

Nope.   Just being a Veteran does not qualify him for base access or base privileges.

candy g · Answer

you can go if you are active duty, if you are retired or a dependent of either of them.

You do not fall into those categories...........he just did his time and got out, that does not allow him to use anything on base.

Due to the rampant misuse of people and the cut price stuff [no tax etc] they now swipe your id card before they even start to ring your items up.
