I did, twice, during my Service. The first time was on the way to boot camp -- I got stuck in L.A. and racked out there -- they were very nice, provided a clean bunk, and even gave me a wake-up call when my flight was nearly ready. The second time, my brother died while I was at sea on WESTPAC. The Navy flew me off my ship to the local birdfarm, where I caught a ride to Clark AFB in the Philippines, where I flew to L.A. Only the Navy didn't give me a ticket, for whatever reason, from LA to my home airport, Portland, OR. The USO gave me a ticket so that I could arrive in time for his funeral.

How about you?

Just to hang out in between long layovers. I was always provided with plenty of snacks and cold drinks!
