The Wright-Patterson AFB Exchange offers competitive pay, great benefits and career opportunities. Benefits for regular full-time and part-time Exchange associates include paid vacation and sick leave. Additionally, the Exchange’s associate transfer program helps military spouses retain employment during permanent changes of station, allowing them to keep their benefits and build toward retirement.
About 45% of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s U.S. workforce is made up of veterans, military spouses or dependents. The Exchange worldwide has hired more than 54,000 veterans and military spouses since 2013, with a goal to increase that number to 75,000 by 2026.

Express stations now offering BP/Amoco fuel
BP/Amoco-branded fuel has rolled out to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base’s two Army & Air Force Exchange Service Express gas stations.
Drivers can now fill up with BP/Amoco fuel at the Area B Express, which was the first Wright-Patterson AFB Express gas station to receive updated signing and canopies identical to those at BP/Amoco gas stations outside the gate.
The Area A Kittyhawk Express has also been updated.
All grades of BP/Amoco gasoline with Invigorate not only meet but exceed industry-leading formulation specifications.
“The Exchange is excited to bring branded fuel onto the installation,” said Chan.
The Exchange is introducing branded fuel at more than 180 of its gas stations on Army and Air Force installations in CONUS.
Branded fuel improves the Exchange’s already-secure supply chain, enhancing the Exchange’s support of the military communities it serves during emergencies and natural disasters.
The Exchange’s fuel pricing policy – matching local competition for each fuel grade where the competition offers a similar service at the same terms and conditions – will remain unchanged.
