TIA flight, can I check out of my
flight on a transient aircraft

Line give you a little background
information on TIA flights. Every
month a member of each command
attends a meeting, submitting a
requirement for the number of
seats his command will need for
PCS personnel. A contract is
then drawn up with TIA, and the
required seats are paid for by
the government. In the event
that a person catches a flight on
a transient aircraft, his seat
becomes vacant and the government
loses the money already paid for
the seat. To answer your ques-

there is a valid reason for you
to return to the states a few
days early. If you do not have a
valid reason, you will be required
to depart on the scheduled TIA
flight.

Those who are interestedin en-
tering the Freedoms Foundation
letter-writing contest have only
one month to get their letters
postmarked.

program is "What is an American?"
and the first place prize is
$1,000.

ticularly those serving in the
Armed Forces—have in maintaining
and protecting this freedom. Let-
ters, in essay or poetry form,

American Way of Life, the Consti-
tution or the Declaration
dependence.
The letters must not
500 words.
Individuals submitting letters
should type full name, rank, ser-
vice number, branch of service,
full military address, service or
