AA Discount Airfares Through 2008

July 29, 2008

American Airlines Extends Special Fares and Other Offers for U.S. Military Personnel Through December 2008

FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines has extended through Dec. 31, 2008, several special offers that are available exclusively for active-duty members of the U.S. military. These offers include discounted airfares, relaxed advance purchase requirements, and preferred boarding privileges.

“American Airlines has extended our special fares and offers for members of the military and their families several times over the past few years, and we’re delighted to do so again,” said Dan Garton, American’s Executive Vice President - Marketing. “We sincerely appreciate the courage, dedication and sacrifice that our troops and their families exhibit on a daily basis, and all of us at American look forward to seeing them on one of our flights very soon.”

Active-duty members of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, National Guard and Reserves who are on leave or furlough (including those who are traveling within seven days of discharge from active service), and their spouse and dependent children, are eligible for the special military fares. The fares are available for travel to domestic and various international destinations.

In addition, the discounted military fares may be purchased up to a week after reservations are made — versus 24 hours for most non-military discount fares — making it easier for military personnel and their families to make travel arrangements. Otherwise, the discounted military fares have no advance purchase requirements, unlike most non-military discount fares.

Following are samples of American’s great low fares for the U.S. military. Fares shown are each way, based on a round-trip purchase:

Travel arrangements can be made at American Airlines ticketing locations or by calling American’s reservations number at 1-800-433-7300 (en Espanol 1-800-633-3711) within the United States and Canada. Outside the United States and Canada, call the local reservations number. Military ID must be presented at the time of airport check-in.

These military fares are not available via the Internet. Other restrictions apply. For complete rules and restrictions, see the terms and conditions below.

As a thank you to U.S. troops, American, a founding member of the global oneworld(R) Alliance, continues to invite uniformed military personnel and their families to pre-board with First-Class passengers or at any time during the boarding process.

Also, U.S. military men and women who are participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom are welcome to be American’s guests at Admirals Club facilities between flights when they are on emergency or Rest and Relaxation (R&R) leave from their overseas duties. This invitation for complimentary access has been extended through Dec. 31, 2008, at all airport locations that do not have USO facilities. Eligible military personnel in appropriate uniform need only present their emergency or R&R leave forms from Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom to access an Admirals Club location. In addition, the Admirals Club welcomes family members and relatives accompanying military personnel who are part of Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom.

Server Technical Difficulties

July 23, 2008

This is to inform you that corpsman.com has been experiencing Severe Technical Difficulties.  Network Solutions (Our Provider) is on the case and hopefully someting will be resolved soon.  Understand Corpsman.com is not folding etc. We are just trying to work with NS to figure out what is crashing our site.
If you have any questions, please email me @ admin1@corpsman.com.

Also if any of you have LINUX Experience and would like to help us trouble shoot this problem, drop me a line.  Thanks!!

Well Before I posted this, We received a response. I kinda figured.. Read below.. We outgrew our britches again.. This time on the RAM side of the house.. Gads.. here is the email:

Dear Darrell Crone,

The issue you reported to Network Solutions on 7/23/2008 10:49:45 PM and assigned Service Request 1-352158280.

You called to report that httpd was shutting down intermittently.
Per the Traffic history, this site may be receiving more traffic than this VPS can currently handle.

The VPS appears to only have 250MB of memory at this time.
You can try disabling anything that is not currently being used or running on the VPS to free up memory or you may consider a memory upgrade.

We will monitor this and check the traffic logs and resources tomorrow during the day.

Thank you for your patience.

We hope this update has been helpful.  However, if you have any additional questions, or feel that the issue has not been completely addressed, please do not hesitate to email our Technical Support Department at technicalsupport@networksolutions.com or call us at 1-866-391-HELP (1-866-391-4357).  If calling from outside the U.S. or Canada, please call 570.708.8788

Sincerely,

JONATHAN022
