Effective January 1, 2015

Why You Should Advertise to the Military Community U 100% of the population on the military installations is employed.

U VA numbers show that Virginia is in the top 5 states granted GI Bill funds since August 2009. Spending on the Post-9/11 GI Bill is estimated to hit $42 billion in 2014 according to the VA and White House projections.

U In fiscal 2012, 201,000 soldiers in the Army used the Tuition Assistance program at a cost of $373 million.

U The average time between PCS (permanent change of station) is about 3 to 4 years according to the GAO. U Military often retire in areas where they last served. Communities around military installations are great communities for these retired military to settle into and still be close to the base commissary and exchange.

U Military are accustomed to travelling and often book travel to return to home or to get-away with their families as they have leave each year.

U 60% of all military moves take place during the May - Sept timeframe, when children are out of school for the summer.

U 95% of the military members and their families live off of base/post, making them vital parts of local communities (using local community businesses vs. on post/base services).

U 1/3 of all officers live in the Washington, DC area; officers’ pay, along with housing allowances, affords them a large amount of disposable income for local purchases U Between the Pentagon and the many military installations in & around the Washington, DC area, there are 100’s of thousands of military/DoD/civilian workers that commute throughout this metro area each day, giving businesses a chance to reach customers at work that will be living in and spending money in their communities.
