A friend of mine e-mailed this to me today.. I contacted verizon and it looks like i've been overpaying for my cell phone service.. i wonder how many more people cell phone companies don't tell about this discount.. they don't do refunds for past service,, but i'll be getting my discount as soon as i fax the required info.. just ithought i'd share the information to other federal government employees & service men and women.
