I have Beale AFB in my backyard a short 30 miles away, with a Passenger Terminal and all, but exactly zero out-bound Space-A opportunities. It is primarily because or its reconnisance mission. Other AF Bases are primarily fighter missions or training with no cargo activity. Consequently, there are major regions that are effectively Space-A deserts. They might get an "in-bound" flight once or twice a year or a unicorn "out-bound" flight, but they can be rare.

All depends. Avoid travel during PCS season - mid May through mid Sept. If you see multiple aircraft on the same day to the same destination, which happens between Travis AFB & Hawaii frequently, then it is a different calculus. I would recommend you view the Space-A Boot Camp series and begin preparing for an adventure! kzfaq.info/sun/PLxcQV6VxZEv4FQw42on_Bh1Eir7IRoR34

LOL, we were trying to get back to Washington State from Guam, we gambled going to Okinawa on a Marine C130 to maybe catch a flight to Alaska, noticed there were flights to Alaska, then short commercial flight to Washington. We got stuck in Okinawa for 3 days, eventually did make it to Alaska on a C5. That was an adventure for the wife, she's never flown in a military aircraft before, she experienced flying on a AF C17, USMC C130 and AF C5.

In all my years, in AMC (MAC), never did Space A travel. We sure carried a lot of space A pax however in the old C-141B days and C-17. My first base, Norton with the old 807 mission. Did that a lot way back then. I could tell some stories about Clark or nearby but I won't. As a retiree, I would not even consider it. Much easy to fly commercial. I can't recall the last time I was on a military installation. Maybe around 2015 there about. It is completely alien to me an a gym that I frequent, a lot of USAF types there but completely unrecognizable compared to when I was in. A whole lot of ink and a whole lot of muscle. The days of the bad combover, fat bellies and birth control glasses are long gone. Look at how fancy the Travis PAX terminal is these days. No clouds of tobacco smoke.

I know the feeling the Only Veterans Medical Clinic outside the US is in Manila, even if you’re 100% no medical services provided unless on FMP Foreign Medical Program which is not accepted here, by most hospitals or local physicians, they claim too long to get paid, thus we have to pay for all services surgeries etc out of pocket first then try to get reimbursed for our money back. And we have no FMP Representative here and there is 50,000 Veterans living on the many Islands in Philippines. Many letters and emails sent to Congressman, Senators, VA, and Veterans organizations who state no budget for Veterans living overseas except service connected injuries, but we cant get local facilities to accept Foreign Medical Program.
