HadIt.com Elder tagandbag Posted February 11, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 11, 2009 T&B, Not sure if your post is serious or not since you were in the Army but just in case you were serious - I think sweettator meant Space A as in Space Available which is what we all had (whether or not we knew it, I was on a post that had an Air Base next to it) when we were on active duty. We could ride Space A on the Air Force planes if there was a seat available on the plane. Lots of GIs would use it to go over to Germany. The only problem with Space A is that you may get somewhere and not have a flight with any Space A seats on it when you want to get home so you may have to purchase a ticket home. However, if you are flexible in your departure and return and don't mind riding in a red net seat then Space A travel is a great way to see the world. Go Army! TS Snave TS, I was half serious and joking around, I did not see the "a" between space and travel. Sorry sweettator, I guess the jokes on me. As they say smarty, smarty had a party and nobody came. I have a buddy who uses the stand by on military flights and also the military vacation and base facilities. Him and his wife love it and very inexpnsive. Again sorry for the misunderstanding.

HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted February 11, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have used Space A on many flights, over the years. When I was active in the veterans community, I would fly up to DC for meetings etc. Once, the pilot let me sit in the jump seat, up in the cock pit when he landed at Andrews AFB. What a trip. Great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted February 12, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 12, 2009 It comes up every two years and always is killed by DOD. Don't pay t get excited by proposed legislation cause most of the time its a scam to make voters happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yes, your are allow to use billeting. All you have to do is show your ID card provided to TDIU and 100% P&T veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredVet Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I was reading that there is a bill trying to be passed allowing space a travel for disabled vets. Has anyone heard if this bill was passed or may get passed? Also, are we allowed to use billeting on bases or places like Bellows Beach in Hawaii? Vicky why fly unless going overseas? too many peopel fly and missses the great country we have. or in too big a hurry, but say they are never in a hurry. lot beteer places to see than hawaii. of all the states hawaii is the biggest tourist trap. but they promote it that way.
