Unfortunately the military doesn'tt get discounts for loves ones. If they did, I think it would only extend to spouses. Don't know where you live, but we use Southwest Airlines a lot because of the fact that there are no change fees, and if you have to cancel you don't get a refund, but they hold your money and it can be applied to a future flight, within a year. Plus you get two free checked bags.

Wow! Thank you so much for the reply!!! I looked at militaryfares.com and seemed really pricey. I will try to call in this week to see what types of deals he can get himself. We're all so excited to see him! I will definitely look into Southwest. Thank you again!

No problem. Sometimes the military discount is not cheaper than the published internet rate, so you really have to check things out. You have to call the airlines directly to see what their military fare is on specific flights, then compare them to the internet. I know on Southwest they take the discount off of the regular fare and I've found internet rates still available that were cheaper, but other times I found the military fare to be cheaper. Just depends on which flights and what is still available. they only allot so many seats for military discounts, which is just crazy in my book. Military should get half price ALWAYS, no matter how many want on a flight.
