I prefer buying in store and processing my trade-in with military discount.

Thanks for your reply.
From what I’ve learned, my purchase is done through the online Military Discount store where my military service is verified by ID.me. This is also where any trade in is done. As another member suggested, it’s best to have purchase shipped to the closest Apple Store for pickup. There are online setup appointments available.

A “tried a true” method I’ve used for years.
It also completely mitigates any “porch pirate” risk.

As fellow users we can’t authoritatively answer, but if you call your local Apple store they can tell you. You probably can with your military ID, but that’s a guess.
You can always order online for delivery to the store and pick it up there.
