To my military paintball friends...
I spent just over 22 years in the military. I'm proud of my service and enjoyed my time working and traveling all over the world. I feel fortunate to have been able to serve. So personally, I don't believe I'm owed anything except my pension and a long, quiet retirement. As a result I'm at a loss for words or a quick explanation when I'm asked, "Do you give a Military Discount?"
I don't ask for special military compensation when I shop. I don't offer special rates for military here at the field. I wouldn't mind offering one. The only problem is my prices are so low that any more discount would mean a loss. My best answer is, "Everyone gets a discount. It's built right into the price." I guess that might sound condescending. Or worse, maybe even a bit unpatriotic.
I support our (my) troops. I support the Commander-in-Chief. I also support a family and employees. I hope you understand.

You know your prices are already low. I know your prices are low. But the general public thinks you are making a killing at those prices.
We give a $10 discount to military personel. Canadian military has never been paid very much and I feel I can afford it. However, if you are only charging $10 to begin with, that's not going to work for you.
22 years of taking orders. Wow! My hat is off to you.
