In a recent change to AAFES overseas purchasing policy, personnel in a TDY status can now buy cars and motorcycles. Previously, buying motor vehicles had been restricted to personnel serving in a permanent change of station status. Now AAFES patrons who have been stationed overseas for at least 30 consecutive days can buy cars, and those serving 90 consecutive days can buy Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The new vehicles can be purchased for in-country or CONUS delivery.
Maj. Gen. Kathryn G. Frost, AAFES commander, indicated that this new policy will satisfy the requests of many who are stationed overseas in other than permanent duty status.
