Growing up in a military family, travel wasn't always easy for us because we didn't have a lot of money. We were a family of four and my father was a full time soldier. As a result, we spent a lot of time taking road trips.
We traveled all over the United States and my parents really loved taking us to see new places. In addition, every time we moved we would travel by car to the next place we were moving. However, we would always fly there first to check it out. We always flew space available on military planes. If you have never had that experience, I have to tell you that it is not that comfortable but you always get to your destination.
I had the opportunity to go to Mexico last week and it was an amazing trip. I got to spend time at a great resort and hang out with some fun people who really enhanced my trip.

We just stay on military bases when we travel and pay next to nothing. Most of them are REALLY nice hotels, too.
Wow! Now this is awesome!! My dad is a military man and they both love to travel. This would be perfect!
Wow this is an awesome option. I really like that they’re making it easier for military families to fit some affordable trips in!
What a great program for military families! I’ll have to tell my cousin about this.
That is such a great program. My son is one year in the Navy and would love to take a trip with him and our family!
what a fabulous program for the military families! This may even be a way to bring families who are separated together at another destination.
What a beautiful place. This is such a great program for our military families.
wow, so cool. I had no idea there was a special hotel or vacation club for the armed forced. I love that so much
I will tell my husband about this. We love to travel and this would be a great money saving option!
This is fabulous! I love that there are companies catering to the military community and helping these men and women enjoy some r&r with their families. This trip sounds great!
This is such a great program for military personal. I remember growing up with my father in the Army and never taking vacations because it was too expensive for a family of 5. I hope this helps out other families.
I love to see great military deals. My uncles are both active military and I know they would love to take a family vacation if the price was feasible. I will share this with them.
I didn’t know they have vacation clubs like this. I will have to share this with those I know who are in the service.
What a great way to give back to our service men and women. I love that they can enjoy a beautiful vacation in a tropical place for a very reasonable price.
I didn’t know this was out there. This is great for those who served and currently serve. No one needs a vacation more then they do!
This is great to have a place just for the armed forces to vacation. They would enjoy getting pampered.
Um, I need to be in that hammock…:) Beautiful pictures and great prices!
I have never heard of that travel site. Such a smart idea to help people find good locations and accommodations too.
Wow! This is amazing! A great opportunity to give back to those who have served!
I have so many friends and family in the military. I wonder if they know about this. I will share this with them.
I had no idea something like this existed. I have so many service personnel in my family who could benefit from this.
What a great opportunity and money saver for military families. It’s nice to see a program that gives back too.
