Vastly different scenarios for most of our guys these days.

Bet that's going to get a bit schwetty...

Airfare is pretty much the only charge on my GTC as a standard. Been doing it for about 10 years now and nobody has said boo.

240. I'm not sure who the genius is that thinks they can just snatch a 240 out of the armory and get away with it but I commend their audaciousness.

But we've "turned the corner".....for the 15th time.

Its been that way for the last 5 years

I was leery as well but after a good friend did It I gave it a shot. First line agent said it was only bereavement fare eligible and would still be 700. She escalated to be sure and after about 15 minutes in hold a different agent came back on and said tickets were booked and it’s free. We had a couple others do it as well but also had a few who ran into the problems you did. Just depends on the people you talk to I guess.

Do you wait and board in your assigned seating group?

They did this for Jolly 51. Took about 20 minutes on the phone is all. Great service.

8 years in England and travelling over Europe. Edinburgh was easily my favorite city and then when you get sick of it, you can branch out from there using it as your base. Awesome place.

Hopefully that shirt can turn in his papers. What a joke.

Define regularly

Save some of that tongue lashing for self reflection. Pass a fucking budget.

The prior crew chief in me was screaming the same :) We acquired some grenades on one rescue deployment and closed the unit down. Should have seen AMMO dudes face when we showed him what was in our cans.

Whoosh right over that dome

And a couple hundred SNCOs along with hundreds more NCOA students. Nothing like an easy million dollars spent because there isn't funding :) Can't wrap my head around that one.

You won't be reimbursed a dime for the pets. Any addtl fees associated with the pets travel is on you unfortunately. PET TLF is a thing but they book up very quickly and you won't get a Non-A because of the pets.

She might be better than the establishment career politician...

Good stuff

Good point. Wonder what the ball park figures are to support the North and its people post conflict.

The key words are additional cost to the government (like you had to stay an extra day and got the per diem, etc.) I believe if you get bumped with no additional government cost you could keep the $ but then couldn't claim delay-related expenses. I read that as only pertaining to the follow on flight, not the compensation. I read it that if you are given compensation from the airline, it belongs to the govt.

And what airline pays in cash/check?

I found this gem 3. Involuntarily Denied Flight Boarding. A traveler who is involuntarily denied boarding on a flight must contact the TMC to book a new flight if a subsequent flight cannot be provided without additional cost to the Government. Any compensation for the denied seat belongs to the Government (59 Comp. Gen. 203 (1980)). The traveler must request that the carrier show the “Treasurer of the United States” as payee on the compensation check, in accordance with DoDFMR, Vol. 9.

Its being done already. Baby steps.

AMMO troops are usually first in either covertly or sub covertly so I would imagine they would need replacements pretty quickly due to the attrition rates. I'm sure you'll get your notches in your belt. Good luck.
