I found this and knew we had a few military families here that might be able to take advantage of this offer. Hope someone can use it :)

We are proud of our military serving our country and we would like to wish all of them our best wishes and a safe and speedy return.

We are inviting all Military who have served or are serving in Iraq or Afghanistan on a complimentary fun day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Grand Bahama Island valid until December 31, 2007. Discovery will provide the free cruise, including the cost of all meals, all service charges, taxes and Bahamian Departure Fees. There are no additional costs involved.

Military Personnel, simply fill out the form below and we will send you an e-mail entitling you to your complimentary Discovery Cruise.

Reservations will be required along with Military ID.

WOW! What a deal. We ourselves can't use it but I will send that link on to lots of my friends. Thanks Stimpy.
Just in case there are any military personnel out there who still don't know. All Anheuser-Busch parks are once again Free to active duty military personnel (and activated guards/reservists) and a number of family members. Good until December this year.That's Sea World, Busch gardens Sesame Place etc.

Cool! I'm so glad that some businesses are doing this for our soldiers.
They sure as heck deserve it!
Wish they could get a free 7 day cruise!!!!!! and a free pair of Disney Crocs!

Well back in 2003 Disney offered a FREE 5 day pass to WDW or DL to all active duty military and up to 5 family members and friends could get the same ticket for $100 each. Now that was awesome! Still I think Disney knew what they were doing 'cos we decided to take advantage of it and make that "once in a lifetime trip" and look where we are now. :)

Nononononono...nothing like that.

It means the ship has more sailors than availible beds. You sleep in shifts.

Hey Mister! No discussing WHAT you sleep in on a family board.

A Viking in his "shifts"....I can only imagine.

:viking: :jawdroppi

I was just kidding of course.
Back during the 1st Gulf war there were so many planes coming through Rhein Main airbase in Germany that they had to do this with the flight crews. Everyone got 8 hours. And they didn't change the sheets in between either. Ewww.
