Pm me with your email address for the full PDF

In recognition of the sustained efforts of spouses and military children of our deployed military members, when a military member’s deployment is for 120 consecutive days or more, spouses and dependent children are authorized to travel Space “A” unaccompanied in Category IV.

dh was telling me about that last night. it's a great thing as long as you don't get bumped off your flight, since active duty and cargo come before you. it would suck to fly somewhere and then get bumped off your flight, or get redirected to somewhere else.

:yes

I've known of quite a few who have flown to Guam via Space-A. Just BE sure to bring along a passport in case you need to hop onto a commercial airline in order to return back...

We used to do space A quite a bit when we were in Hawaii. Had some last minute opportunities to go to Austraila, but coudln't go with our time restrictions. We pretty much had the hurry up and wait scenario. Although one time it went great--I was alone and got to California real fast and it was a fun flight. However, now I'm on the east coast and wondering what the flights are like here. I was thinking Va/Dc area to Selfridge AFB in Mi or Fl?
