Staff Sgt. Elsie Garza and Jazlene in the passenger terminal at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., are ready to board a bus that will take them to an awaiting C-5 Galaxy heading to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, on April 17. Garza is assigned to the 37th Mission Support Squadron, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, and is flying on leave and using the "space available" travel privilege to fly on what is primarily a cargo flight. Being active duty and on leave status, she has a relatively high passenger category rating somewhere below emergency travel and mission essential personnel. The privilege of traveling on these flights come with positives such as zero air fare and negatives such as flight times that are set to support operational mission needs and movement of cargo and seating ranges from commercial airline seats to fold-out web bench seats. And most military aircraft do not have as much sound insulation as commercial airliners.
