Government officials should fly commercial.

Government officials should fly commercial. When they can’t, they should hop on already-scheduled military flights, and when all else fails, have a bare-bones aircraft available where you have to bring your own water and food.
When I go spend a day in the field, I don’t ride around in some fancy-ass truck. I ride in the broken captains chair, looking out the back of the ambulance, while every bump in the road makes me shorter. I piss if we get back to quarters and I eat when my crew eats.

25 years ago as a contractor, my first option for flying was in the back of a .mil aircraft.
C130 from mid America to Maine to Germany is a long damn time. -

And before some nutsack makes a smart ass comment, I listen to my crew give report (because oversight is literally what I’m paid for), and then I snag wipes from the ED, wipe down the cot, and go wipe down the leads and cords, pick up the trash, and get the bus turned around. You don’t third-rider it and not clean the bus.

To be fair, the stops in Maine always had good food. Clam strips, broiled cod with cheese mash, a few beers for the next leg of the trip.

We do have one good sushi place.
Like real wasabi, not green toothpaste good.
I go there as often as I can to keep them in business. -
