Damon, can't really answer you questions 100% but here goes. email Dan, or preferably Renee or patty (email address on the main site page or look under one of sticky threads). Also, since you are ACTIVE DUTY you may not need to get in on the TT price. YOU MAY QUALIFY AS 'MILITARY' CONTRACT. Don't really know but ask Renee and or Patti and I am sure they will steer you in the right direction. I hope this helps you some. And I would say just scan your ID card and send that in the email for your order notification. I've had to email scanned copy of my Retired Militay and my LE ID and have never had a problem.
