00:03.362 --> 00:05.260
was her first overseas assignment

00:05.440 --> 00:07.384
months after her arrival . Her son

00:07.384 --> 00:09.329
asked if they could go back to the

00:09.329 --> 00:11.329
States for the holidays . We looked

00:11.329 --> 00:13.551
around at airline tickets . The tickets

00:13.551 --> 00:16.060
were anywhere from 1800 to $2200 . And

00:16.060 --> 00:18.116
I was informed by my supervisor that

00:18.116 --> 00:20.227
they offer . Ml So I enquired on it .

00:20.240 --> 00:22.240
This is where Staff sergeant Travis

00:22.240 --> 00:24.462
smith and the folks in force management

00:24.462 --> 00:26.573
stepped in and did their part to make

00:26.573 --> 00:28.518

00:28.518 --> 00:30.462
using html or environmental morale

00:32.462 --> 00:34.629
explains to us , the process isn't all

00:34.629 --> 00:36.573
that hard and it saves the service

00:36.573 --> 00:38.573

00:38.573 --> 00:40.573

00:44.573 --> 00:46.740
request if there is no waiver required

00:46.740 --> 00:48.796

We process the M . L . Paperwork , they

01:01.130 --> 01:03.910
take it to the terminal and basically

01:03.910 --> 01:06.060
