Reply Given on family members space a i would like tin explanation As to Why family members arc not authorized to Fly space available without their sponsors. I have  myself familiar with the a Propri ale rules and regulations regarding space a. Travel but find myself somewhat confused regarding Itie logic of these regulations and wondering Why these regulations cannot be changed specifically i recommend thai current policies be altered to allow family members to travel without their Spon sors. They would receive the lowest priority but would be Able to nil planes thai desperately need it especially in Light of the policy to keep flights tilled As much As Possi ble. As service members we do not always have the luxury of taking off whenever we want or for As Long As we want. However our families Are not necessarily tied to this restriction. By allowing family members u sponsor approval to use space a travel morale and conditions for family members could improve dramatically. If one of inc goals of the military is to take care of the army family then Why not adopt this Type of program thai is beneficial and Cost effective this would require no additional fund ing and its Long term benefits Are obvious. My final Point is this Why should family members be penalized by their sponsors duty requirements other forces such As the British Only require that the sponsor sign up the family members not Fly with them. 1 Sec no. Reason Why we cannot adopt a similar system. Re Traymond e. Freeland or. Heidelberg West Germany editor s note  e. Mon Reide sr., director defense information office of the assistant Secretary of defense Tor Public affairs replies department of defense Dod policies governing spice available revel on military aircraft. Are based upon inc principle hat this privilege accrues first to the Active duty members of the uniformed services and Sec Ond to retired military personnel. The first Case provides Relief from the hardships of military duty and provides an inducement to slay in the military in the second Isa Reward Tor Long and faithful Wertke. Because some assignments result in unusual hard ships on Dod personnel and their command sponsored family members a special program was established id enhance their space or Allahlee travel opportunities. The environmental and morale Leare Mel program a developed specifically to provide respite from Adverse environmental conditions far military members and their family members assigned to selected locations thai Are designated by the theater commander. Eligible Dod personnel and or their co Mound sponsored family members May take up to two space Avail Able Mel trips catch year. Under the program the sponsor and accompanying family members receive an elevated priority for Emu travel. For Hose situations when the eligible sponsor s travel u limited by duly requirements dependents May travel in an unaccompanied status. More information about he Emi program As it applies to various individuals and locations May be obtained through unit personnel channels. The current limitation an the use of space available travel recognize the finite amount of Airlift Opportunity available. Any added authorizations for space available travel even at a Low priority As proposed by the writer will Impact the Ravel Opportunity of currently authorized to Arelers at in mute stations and would result in a hollow Promise of Ravel Opportunity for those Mas deserving.
