Somebody told me that i couldnt, and others think that i could. me and my wife need to fly to germany over the summer and we dont wanna pay 3 grand. my ID card is identical to my active duty one, and she has a dependant ID card. Please if anybody has done this before or knows anything about it then let me know.

Answer 1

Your best bet is to contact the terminal you wish to leave from first. I looked at the website at military.com, although it is very informational, I would not make my decisions based on that info alone. You always want to contact the terminal you will be departing from first to make sure that the availability will be there when you want to travel. Space A is a wonderful thing, but it can leave you stranded if you do not have a back up plan. Baltimore Intl AP has an AMC counter in the International terminal, they fly to Germany twice a week on Tues & Thurs.

Also check with other bases, Charleston is an AMC hub, your chances of getting out to Germany may be greater than if you left from a smaller base, the availability is greater.

Answer 2

Check with the army/reserve army first to hear what the rules says. Its safer. Even thou the id is the same the rules cuold be different. I also think that the id says what force youre in even thou you cant tell it. Call them or check the web. Johan

Answer 3

Why would you have to pay "3 grand"? Have you actually checked the airfares? You should both be able to fly roundtrip for about $800 total.

Answer 4

call shaw AFB S.C. and ask for passenger reservation they will give you that info. also they fly to Germany 1-2- times a week.

Answer 5

you should be able to. You can still use te BX/PX and comissary and all that. So just cause your in the reserves now doesnt mean you loose all this.
