I was introduced to the Armed Forces Vacation Club by a friend who could not believe that I was unaware of it. Well, that was a couple of years ago and I have enjoyed it ever since. I am now passing the torch on to all of you to enjoy!
The Armed Forces Vacation Club is a space available program that offers Department of Defense affiliated personnel the opportunity to find nightly rentals and week long condos at a discounted rate. The Armed Forces Club also offers discounted hotels and car rentals.
Who is eligible, glad you asked? According the AFVC website:

It is the time of year to PCS, if you should be relocating to the Greater Fredericksburg Area or Northern Virginia, please contact me for all of your Real Estate Needs. It would be my honor to help you find your way home. As a military veteran and spouse, I can relate first hand to the stress of moving.
