Last month I used some frequent flyer miles to fly to Florida for a short vacation. Had to change planes in Charlotte and while going through TSA I lost my license in the confusion..

Got to Orlando and realized what happened. I then discovered that the car rental company would *not* rent me a car without it...despite the dozen other cards I had with my name on it (including several credit cards).

With no car I had to fly back home.Eighteen hours of flying...3,000 miles...got home at 1AM.

And this was a few days after that crash in DC and my flight back included a stop there. I got to fly over the Potomac just as that plane did a few days earlier.

I couldn't even do that there when I was a Student pilot but if you're a military student in training, I guess it's ok. See how that turned out.

I never use my driver’s license when flying. My military ID is Real ID and my license isn’t. As for my passport and passprt card, they always stay in my carry on backpack that always goes on every trip.
