So you won't know if you're flying patriot express or regular space A cargo aircraft since you don't sign up for specific flights just departure and arrival bases? Is that correct? If not how do you distinguish this when planning?
@CliffWagner4 күн бұрын
You monitor both the 30 Day and 72 Hour Flight Schedules. The Patriot Express Flights are listed on the 30 Day Flight Schedule and then pop onto the 72 Hour Flight Schedule, so if you are flying on a date that coincides with a PE flight you will know.

Point of clarification. Status of Forces Agreements only address jurisdiction of U.S. military personnel present in a country under the authority of the Secretary of State (title 10). This does not apply to retirees or even serving members on something like vacation / on a tourist visa. There are two documents you need to review before going to any foreign country outside of military orders and those the Foreign Clearance Guide and the State Department travel advisory page for that country. The FCG delineates the diplomatic protections of all U.S. citizens by category, like title 10 active duty, title 10 government civilian, service member on leave, tourist, etc. We do not have SOFAs with every country-even those we have military flights into. The FCG will spell out what passport and visa requirements may exist and what customs procedures may look like, as well as which country’s jail you may spend the rest of your days in if you get into a bar fight or get into a minor fender bender.

Dang it… I meant to say title 10 is SecDef, not SecState, which would be title 22.

The efforts of the democrat party to break up the "E-4Mafia" were quite successful. They greatly reduced the overall staffing of units, thus making it nearly impossible for soldiers to "sham away into the ether." The only escape was through seperation or promotion.

Makes sense. When you're either retired or 100% P&T you're also considered a civilian and not covered under SOFA for travel to foreign countries. To legally enter a foreign country you would have to enter that country through a legal port of entry and process through their customs and immigration. Congress cannot dictate the entry/exit requirements of a foreign country. We are the only country on earth that doesn't enforce immigration laws.

@CliffWagner10 күн бұрын
That depends chiefly on the Corporal. Most folks end up a Corporal because they are hard charging and motivated, generally on track for promotion to E-5. The defining charachteristic of those in the E-4 Mafia is that they care more about shamming than promoting.

As I said in the video, I contacted the office of congressman, Gus Bilirakus who authored HR 936 as I discussed in the video. His staff would not discuss the background as to why the bill died in committee. It is my understanding, that the issue of foreign travel for disabled vets is a function of the status of forces agreements in place with the foreign countries where we have military bases. Renegotiating those SOFA agreements is not something. The DOD or state department is prepared to take on in order to advance this issue.

I have Beale AFB in my backyard a short 30 miles away, with a Passenger Terminal and all, but exactly zero out-bound Space-A opportunities. It is primarily because or its reconnisance mission. Other AF Bases are primarily fighter missions or training with no cargo activity. Consequently, there are major regions that are effectively Space-A deserts. They might get an "in-bound" flight once or twice a year or a unicorn "out-bound" flight, but they can be rare.

All depends. Avoid travel during PCS season - mid May through mid Sept. If you see multiple aircraft on the same day to the same destination, which happens between Travis AFB & Hawaii frequently, then it is a different calculus.
