Thank you all,
This has been a much bigger response than I thought. I have good news. I got in touch with Delta's customer service via the internet last night, and they agreed to waive the 14 day waiver. All she has to do is bring her military ID and a copy of my orders and we are done. Once again thank you for all your responses.

Once again thank you for all your responses.

Not at all, thank you for the heavy lifting you're doing.

And Delta deserves a thumbs-up. Some of our airlines can be maddening at times,
but lately they've been mostly doing the right thing.
