Hi and thanks for your comment and honesty. Sometimes there are better fares out there...I am a sole-owner of this site so I need to charge a bit extra. I always encourage my clients to shop around. Many times the airlines won't offer military fares on all flights; this may be the case with your search. PLEASE remember that by buying a Military Class ticket (as a dependent or active) allows the airlines to waive any change fees and luggage fees. So, sometimes it is worth paying a bit extra if that is the case.

Thanks again...if you have any suggestions on how to "explain" this better to customers please let me know...I find it hard to really make folks understand that their may be better fares elsewhere, but just in case there is a Military Fare it can sometimes save them alot of money.

OK sailor, sailor, not soldier ,soldier :) I have been getting my classroom ready for students. School starts July 28 & I am SOOO not ready! You'd think after teaching for 17 years I'd have this down! I keep changing things & redoing things I have already done but can do better! I have got to SLOW down! Making myself tired before I teach..Oh, well. Jeff says he sees Cody all the time! Good thing. Jeff is doing well. Loves the classes on the computer & tests on the computer. He calls about 3-4 times a week. He is really happy. Best decision ever! Have a great week!

Hi Vickie my son Nate has moved over to A-school he explained that with each phase they get more rewards and freedom..He told us that on Labor day weekend they will have overnight liberty for the weekend..woo hoo but my Nate has duty that weekend..bummer But he also said that evry weekend after that they could leave overnight as long as they didn't have duty and be back to the base on Sunday evening..This may not be the same for all I'm not sure Nate is in Corpsman school..Hope this helps

Hi Vickie..It was amazing!!!!the PIR was totally awesome..Go early that morning they check your vehicle 1st then your ID's then off to the check in hall where they check your ID to the list the Sailor gave them.Then its inside- in front of where you sit is your div # so you have a great view of them-seats go fast and its very crowded and VERY hot....after the band,flags and rifle guard perform they raise the doors and in marches your div. they will stand in front of you during the whole ceremony!!! It is awesome!! After all the awards and speeches they get their Liberty...and its a scramble to find your Sailor..They all look so good!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend with Cody!!!We did..

The Arcade ,Taco Bell and Subway are near the NEX right where you will meet your Sailor-you to can go inside and check things out..and do a little shopping..

Thanks for adding me as a friend Linda... and thanks for
the info. I look forward to hearing from you again..
The more I read about HT, the less I like it...I'm
hoping it's not as bad as it sounds...

Vickie,
Hello, I have sent you a friend request. Josh said that so far the school is easy and they put the headphones on and go thru their lessons and it was easy so far! He still loves it in the navy. I will ask him a little more tonight and see what he can tell me.
have a great day!
