Well it's about time!

I could not believe my eyes last year when I saw Continental charging these guys for extra bags.

Major airlines waive bag fees for military

Many of the nation's largest airlines have begun giving military personnel on official travel a pass on expensive baggage fees when they carry heavy duffel bags stuffed with combat gear. Faced with criticism from veterans' groups and others that the fees are a financial burden, several airlines have announced exceptions for service members. AirTran Airways, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines and United Airlines said yesterday that they were waiving all or most of their baggage fees for active members of the U.S. military on official travel. Earlier this week, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air began waiving their fee to check a third bag for active service members.

Airline charged me $700+ for my extra bag when I left the US for Korea... (I was in the Army then)...

Upon arrival, I was told that I couldn't claim this as a "travel expense"...
