Yes. At the end of the order as you are selecting color, size, trade in, etc.... it will come up asking apple care or not.

Ordered, but it was painful. The veterans store kept crashing on me.
Was everyone able to get their order in?
Mine went through fairly quickly, but I was on before the site opened. Kept refreshing until it opened.
It is going slower now, but keep trying!

Yep. Got it in. Does not seem like big demand this year, as both models I ordered are still available for next Friday.
I was on before it opened and kept refreshing. I cannot believe how slow and awful it was!
yep! this was especially bad when ordering hubby's phone!
with mine it just took forever between steps. took over 30 minutes to get my phone ordered and by then the delivery had slipped to 6 oct..... so then I had to go back and change it to in store pick up and now I have to drive an hour to the store!
since we had to do mine store pick up.... we set his up for the same.....
OY! they made that discount P.A.I.N.F.U.L!
so many times I was tempted to just get on my phone and pay full price.... as that came up even before the military store did!
now more than ever they need to get a way for us to order within the app with our discount!
yea that was painful this morning. So many crashes, ended up october 6 
Maybe it will arrive a little quicker

I think I had to start from the original store link and reauthorize to get it to work this morning
I couldn't get into the military website until about 10 minutes after the other stores opened and then I kept getting web page errors. Restarted my browser and selected what I wanted and it said September 24. It then took me to the payment and I realized I hadn't signed back into my Apple account. That took only a few seconds but when everything was completed, I had a Oct 6-11 expected delivery.
There are rather a few militaries in the world where this forum is read. Which military, or is the discount available to ALL military (active and veterans?) in the world?
Good point. The verification is done by ID.me, so if your country & branch of service uses ID.me then it will be valid for you.
Was successful with the military store this morning. Pleasantly surprised to get a 9/24 delivery date.
YES! I had to so that. I had the history link and had issues.... finally closed and reentered with my id.me and at least that started the slooooooow, painful process!
same! I was so mad! had to restart the whole process to do in store pick up for the 24th cuz it wouldn't let me edit my delivery order for pick up!
sorry I don't know about if the discount works anywhere other than for us military and veterans. (you use id.me to verficcation.)
i pre ordered just fine this morning using military portal as soon sa it went live. got a iphone 13 mini, 128gb unlcoedk for 700, tax included.
To everyone in this thread. Thank you for your service!
yeah I probably would have made the first shipment if I had realized that sooner, but I blame 3 hours of sleep. Oh well, hoping for a faster shipment
What I did was to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. There you will see a link for military and veterans. Basically, it's the same as the EPP discount. You'll have to verify your status via ID.me, but once done, you'll see the reduced prices. This was on my MBP - I don't think it's on the iOS app.
