A lot of places actually offer military deals, but don’t advertise them forcing you to ask. I think both parties feel embarrassed when the answer comes back “no” so I am very glad when they advertise or promote the fact that they have a deal for the 1% of us who serve our country. Here…
I am ⅔ of the way done with my reviews of my trip to SE Asia. Thus far I’ve posted: Review: United Business Class 757-200 JFK to San Francisco Review: United Business Class 747 San Francisco to Hong Kong Review: Intercontinental Hong Kong Deluxe Junior Suite Review: Singapore Business Class 777-200 Hong Kong to…
Uniform friendly carry-on This carry-on piece looks like it’d be perfect for packing a uniform for a weekend. Check this out: Vocier C38 Unfortunately it’s a little pricey…a little bit being $775. Yeah, I’m not getting this anytime soon. But if you have a lot of money burning a hole in your…
While we stick to military related topics for the most part, we do point out when great deals are to be had. This one in particular is probably of interest to military members as we spend a lot more time in Hiltons, Marriotts, and IHGs than Starwood and Hyatt which seem to be frequent flyer…
“C-130 rolling down the strip, 64 Rangers on a one way trip, stand-up, hook-up shuffle to the door, jump right out and count to four” I’ll be the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest guys in the U.S. military. Not only did I make Brigadier General, but I was assigned to one…

This post may only apply to a very slim minority of you, but for those of you who were able to take advantage of the American Express Campus Edition card and loading at campus bookstores, that capability is going away on March 1st. I just recently received this email: The way to leverage this deal…

In my job, I can never take a lot of time off. So my wife and I take several long weekend vacations a year – which also works to rack up a bunch of FF miles. Valentine’s Day was fortunately on a long weekend this year, so I took the wife to Sonoma for wine…
This is slightly out of order, as after our excellent Singapore business class flight, we took Jetstar from SIN – Phuket, and stayed for three nights at the Holiday Inn Express Patong Beach, then took Jetstar back to Singapore. However, I already have this post written. The next stage in our awesome SE Asian trip…
