I did the split training like his son and the military provided me money for a ticket home. I had a choice - I could get a ticket bought and paid for by the Army or I could get paid per mile and find my own way home. Since I was going from Augusta, GA to Portland, OR, I took the per mile options. They gave me $1200. I then purchased my own plane ticket for $200 and pocketed the rest.
I don't think they let you do that anymore.
