[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 848295, member: 12570"] Jones is right in regards to military personnel traveling on PCS or TDY orders--this does not apply to traveling while on personal leave, although there is a discount for bereavement leave. These are for travel on commercial aircraft. Military personnel can travel space available on military transport aircraft for $10 with preference given to those on bereavement leave or those stationed in a remote area. The only problem with travel on a military plane is that there is no guarantee that you will be on a given flight so you must have a lot of flexibility in your schedule--it is ideal for military retirees. When I was stationed in Sicily and came home on leave I flew to the States on a military jet but flew back on a commercial flight as I wanted to spend as much time as I could in the States and still be back in Sicily on time. (The military is not as lenient as UPS is when it comes to no call/no show). [/QUOTE]
