Useful Space-A Web Sites

 Air Mobility Command's Space-A Web  There are a few things at the public AMC Web site that are useful, but much less than in years past since 9/11. Of the most use is a Word document that outlines passenger requirements for Space-A, and a somewhat outdated list of passenger terminal contacts. But over all there are better resources found through Google.
 John D.'s Military Space-A Travel Pages  A lot of good basic "FAQs", and a list of passenger terminal contacts with notes about each terminal location.
 State Department Travel Warnings, Country Info, & Alerts  It's always a good idea to know what the political situation for Americans is when traveling in foreign countries. Get the latest information from the State Department.
