That’s a great list of travel, target destinations. Glad to see that you were dialed in to Mr. Ramsey, your future self will celebrate that decision for sure. I get out to JB Charleston, I’ll give you a shout out in advance of my arrival. Maybe we can grab a burger.

Time to get wheels up buddy!

Good luck to you - hope it goes as planned!

Hey thanks buddy!

That sounds like a great journey you've had!

That is my plan!

Glad to hear that you are still able to make it work to your benefit! Thanks for your comment!

Great benefit for those who take advantage of it!

That’s exactly right.

​​​@@CliffWagner Its really nothing new. Been that way for decades. I had an overseas use only ID i used at my DOD contract job. Bases overseas sometimes we had to get a sticker on the ID card for that particular base but if you went to Panama on a vacation, that ID card was worthless. Panamanians working on the base for DOD could shop on base but me as a visitor with that ID card couldnt. Active duty only can use it world wide. Im an aircraft technician 29 years with airlines and i can fly everywhere antime as long as theres space available. Based out of Houston and i have SC disability via VA so i can do bases in CONUS and territories. But not fly military. Not at 100%., way more places to go with the airlines. I do fly into military bases on military charters with our equipment.

@ sounds like your flight privileges are a great benefit - good for you! Thank you for your comment and for supporting the channel!

@@CliffWagner hey, i was watching your video on Patriot flights. I see those ATLAS planes here in Houston at the airport all the time. I didnt know you could Space A on those. Very interesting. You mentioned Diego Garcia. I flew to Diego Garcia from PAYA LEBAR air base in Singapore on a C-141 in 1987. I did a recent run to Hamburg Germany to Airbus (XFW) to pick up a NEO. Cycled through Bangor on the way back. I was not aware its an Air National Guard base too. Had the plane all to myself with three pilots. We went XFW, EDI, BGR, TPA. Then came to IAH on regular rev flight.

Yes sir! By 100% I am assuming you mean permanent and totally disabled P&T?

I’ll bet you did freeze. That’s a learning experience right there, baby!

Thanks Alex - Love ya! - Dad

Additional advice would depend, what is the route of your trip?

@CliffWagner hi thanks for your response merry Christmas and happy new year im leaving guam taking the patriot express to Seattle then going to a hospital to repair my daughter's eyes but very nervous about getting a trip back to guam...

@ OK, so getting the PE from Guam to SeaTac should not be a problem. Once you’re on you’re on and it’s a done deal for your return trip. You might need to consider JB Lewi/McCord. Bottom line, as long as you can get to JB Hickham/Pearl Harbor there are tons of flights to Guam from there. So, even if you don’t get a return flight from SeaTac all the way to Guam, you should have other options.

@@CliffWagner thank you and merry Christmas and happy new year much appreciated god bless you 🙏

Mine too.

Generally there is competition for PE because it is a comfortable option, however, I see reports of PE flights with open seats from time to time. I believe it largely depends on wether you are flying during. PCS season or holidays.

No one did.

I agree. It's more of a relaxed, laid-back vibe, not a big resort.

I can tell you that I checked and there is no current legislation on the subject. However, they will begin a new session in January and the Congress will work up new bills, so maybe we will see something...

@CliffWagner Thank you sir.

Hi Katherine, while using the drone, the app records audio through the app on your iPhone and syncs automatically to the video on the app. It also eliminates the sound of the drone somehow. It is really pretty cool.

Not sure what you are referencing - just always use good judgement.

Where space-a flights are concerned medically retired is the same as retiring after 30 years. You and your lawful dependents are eligible to fly anywhere space-a goes. You are correct, you are CAT VI. Thank you for supporting the channel!

Hmmm. Not sure I get you... I have several colleagues who have successfully navigated the retirement process from the USAR. As for Space-A, yes you have to meet their criteria and apply the rules, but it can be pretty easy once you fly a couple of times.

@CliffWagner That's the whole point! We shouldn't have to "navigate" anything. You can't tell me that someone out there isn't incapacitated for some reason, mentally, physically, or both, and got their 20-year letter maybe 20 years earlier. Who's helping them?

Unfortunately, the developer of that app is not keeping it updated for Android or iOS.

It is one sign up. You can watch for PE on the 30 Day Schedule and as they enter the 72 Hour window they will then show up on the 72 Hour schedule. If you sign up and show up on a day that the PE is flying, you can compete for the PE or for any cargo aircraft departing same day.

I have not done that route yet, but have heard of folks who have. Are you on Facebook and if so, are you already on Military Space Available Travel group? Check in there and get ideas. Thanks for supporting the channel!

@@CliffWagner will do

Glad to be of service and thanks for watching!

There is lodging on Travis however it depends if it’s a Reserve Duty weekend it will be tough to get accommodations. Call ahead and check for availability. If you plan on flying to Hawaii it’s very easy from Travis because there are a lot of flights to Hawaii. I hope this helps you.

Sorry if you did not get a response before. I know that you can get really inexpensive Southwest flights from So Cal to Sacramento International. Then just UBER down to Travis. As @skip2it426 indicated, call ahead to Travis to check on accomodations, they have a very large Air Force Inn. Getting between Travis and JB Pearl Harbor/Hickam should be easy and once in Hawaii, watch for return flights to March Air Reserve Base in Riverside Co. or North Island NAS in San Diego. Hope you have a blast!

@@skip2it426- Thanks for the comment!

Would Amtrak work to get to SF then taxi to Travis for you? I believe there is a taxi service that allows to be on post because the drivers was vetted

alohaairporter.com/ I have not used them, but aloha Airporter comes highly recommended. I suggest that you call them and confirm they have access to the passenger terminal at Travis AFB.

Actually, no - some of them have business class seating if you are lucky.

Thank you for the comment and for supporting the channel! Unfortunately, the TakeAHop APP is not configured for Android and from what I understand, the developer is not keeping it updated for iOS either. I know that other developers are working on another new app solution so stay tuned. In the meantime, it is pretty easy to just email your sign up in. Take care an happy travels! - Cliff

Ina, I am so glad you get to retire this year - I know that it is very well deserved!

Thank you for your comment and for supporting the channel!

Absolutely!

Sometimes it just comes out...

Thanks for your comment!

Glad you liked it and thank you for your support, much appreciated!

You do the same, brother!

You can if you like. It really has no application to the processing of your sign-up as rank does not influence competition within eligible categories.

@@CliffWagner Thank you

Unfortunately, Space-a to or from the Philippines is not authorized, but certainly could be in the future. For most folks, that leg of the journey is a commercial flight. Best of luck to you and thanks for checking in!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for supporting the channel!

Thanks!!

Yes, in fact, you can bring anyone you want to most military resort facilities and in most cases, sponsor one or more rooms as needed. Always best to contact the facility, just to confirm their policy, but I have sponsored rooms for non-military friends at Hale Koa Resort.

@@CliffWagner Thanks a lot! You just made my day Sir.

Thank you for your support!

Little Rock will only feature Space-a flights on their 72 hour report. Unfortunately, they do not serve as a hub for Patriot Express, so they will not have a 30 day report...

@@CliffWagnerThank you Sir! I’ll look at Altus or Kansas then. I’m in OKC
