New Space-A Travel Perks Possible

The House version of the fiscal ‘06 defense act includes two possible new benefits concerning Space-A travel. The first would remove the requirement that National Guard and Reserve retirees must be 60 years old before they and their dependents can fly Space-A. The second would require a study to determine if it is feasible for the Defense Department to allow Space-A travel for all veterans with a 50 percent or higher service connected disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Each measure would have to survive a House-Senate conference committee to become law.
