I did a tour at BUPERS in Millington, Tn.
The BOQ was free to geo bachelors and my family wanted nothing to do with Millington (she is an engineer) so I commuted by air at least three times a month on Northwest Airlines for 19 months.
The round trip in 2000/2001, bought months in advance, was $130.00 bucks, which was a lot of money but my wife worked in DC in those days so the ride home was comp'ed.
Miles, numbers of sections flown in a period of time (huge in those days), Northwest credit card: By month six I was Beryllium Class, they paid me to fly. I think my name is still on a jet.
There is a difference, a huge Kettle of difference. The perks were worthy.
