Military Space-A flights, otherwise known as HOPS, are available to authorized personnel after all mission requirements have been met and there is still sufficient space available to accommodate passengers safely. Always remember that Space-A is a privilege, not a right. This privilege can be revoked at any time, for everyone. Also, flights are never guaranteed and you should always have a backup plan….or two.
Uniformed services retirees who are receiving retirement pay and possess a blue retiree ID card can travel Space-A with their dependents anywhere that Space-A is allowed. Retiree dependents are only allowed to travel with their sponsor. They cannot travel by themselves or with another retiree. If the sponsor dies, then the dependent no longer has Space A privileges.
