I was at the airport on Oct. 29 and Nov. 1st. I didn't get to know them very well other than by the time they cancelled the last flight it was pretty late and the USO stayed open for us to crash there for the rest of the night.
He is better off flying a regular flight. With military flights you don't always have a way to get back to where you where coming from. Also it is dependent on space available, so you could get bumped off of a flight.
