Many military members who live away from family use Amazon Prime to order necessities that aren’t available at military exchanges or in the local economy.

There are cases, you can get free delivery in as little as two hours, depending on the item and where you live, this option is common near large metropolitan areas.

It offers very fast shipping benefits. If you are geographically separated from your family, so it makes Christmas shopping easy.

If you are out of the military, Amazon is a great place to start your private-sector job search.
