USO operates 200+ free lounges at major airports + military installations + downrange. Free WiFi, snacks, drinks, sleeping rooms, TV, family rooms, and (at hub airports) showers + private workstations. Open to active-duty, guard, reserve, retiree, dependent. Many service members forget USO exists because they never wear a uniform through an airport.
