Lot's of theories over there in the social media world - but I think the best place to ask and the most accurate military response is here....
380 Mids (give or take a few) were heading to PROTRIMID in San Diego today. Said Mids were informed yesterday that only 20 seats were booked for today and throughout the week they would eventually get out there. How does that happen? The remaining 360 Mids now will miss their first week of PROTRIMID. So I guess I am asking - typically - what is the procedure to book flights? Doesn't the Navy have big planes to bring a whole group somewhere? Commercial flights were the last thing I thought the military would rely on for transporting large number of Mids. Thanks everyone for your responses!
