Who qualifies for our NATIONALSERVICE discount?
Our offer includes the service affiliations and public-service occupations below. You do not need to be a veteran or first responder if you qualify through another listed category. A nurse, physical therapist, teacher, or community-service volunteer can qualify through that role.
These categories define our customer discount, not a legal or government-wide classification of national service. Examples help identify the work we recognize; a different job title may describe the same role.
Military veterans, active-duty personnel, and National Guard and Reserve members
We include veterans, military retirees, and currently serving members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard, including National Guard and Reserve personnel. Enlisted members, warrant officers, and commissioned officers are included.
All military occupational specialties are recognized: combat and operational roles, medics, nurses, physicians, pilots, engineers, mechanics, electricians, communications and cybersecurity specialists, intelligence personnel, logistics and transportation staff, military police, firefighters, administrators, human resources staff, accountants, attorneys, chaplains, instructors, and food-service personnel. A veteran's current civilian occupation does not change their eligibility as a veteran.
Public Health Service and NOAA commissioned officers
Our uniformed-service category also includes officers of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps.
Examples include commissioned medical, dental, nursing, pharmacy, rehabilitation, behavioral-health, dietetics, engineering, environmental-health, scientific, veterinary, and health-services professionals, along with NOAA officers serving in marine operations, aviation, hydrographic surveying, and scientific-support assignments. Civilian employees can qualify separately through the public-service categories below.

When replacing supplies, match the device model, connector, size, and package contents. Our team can help with product identification, published specifications, and order questions; the discount is not a recommendation to change your treatment or buy equipment you do not need.
NATIONALSERVICE discount questions
Can healthcare workers and teachers use NATIONALSERVICE?
Yes. Healthcare, rehabilitation, mental health, and public health professionals, along with the education and school-support roles listed above, are included. You do not also need military service or first-responder status.
Do volunteer firefighters and civilian service volunteers qualify?
Yes. Volunteer firefighters and the organized emergency response, national service, and community service volunteers listed above are included. For an unfamiliar program or role, ask our team to confirm the fit before ordering.
Can veterans use the discount after moving to a civilian career?
Yes. Eligibility as a veteran is not limited to a current occupation, military specialty, or job in public service.
Is the offer limited to Balego-brand products?
No. The 5% offer covers our entire catalog, including the other brands we carry. Product-specific ordering and use requirements still apply.
What about family members, former civilian service, or overseas equivalents?
Contact us to confirm eligibility for a spouse or dependent, a retired civilian role, a former service-program affiliation, or a comparable overseas service. Those situations should not be assumed eligible solely because a related occupation appears above.
Do I need to send proof of service or employment?
Ask our team whether any information is needed for your situation and how to provide it. Do not upload identification, medical records, or other sensitive documents to a public product question or the initial contact message.
Can I combine the code with quantity pricing or another promotion?
For orders involving quantity pricing, another promotion, price matching, or a custom quote, ask us to confirm the final pricing before payment. Catalog-wide coverage does not itself establish whether discounts combine.
Thank you for serving our communities
We appreciate the people who protect, teach, care, respond, and keep essential services working. Our NATIONALSERVICE discount is one practical way to recognize that contribution.
