This guy is a reservist? Well, that totally changes EVERYTHING. Why did he not say this in the first damn place?

Not for me. You are an idiot, and an ass. Buh bye.Tricare is $460 for the family per year. You are a fake.
Goodbye.
I already explained why up front. Reading comprehension just isn't a strong suit for some of you, is it? Next time try actually knowing what you're talking about before making idiotic assumptions, as well making as an ass of yourself, "dude."This guy is a reservist?

Me too. Note I didn't say "all military medical sucks" etc. I was speaking in general terms.I was a hospital corpsman in the Navy for 20 years. My wife is a retired Navy Nurse (Commander). I've known her since she was an Ensign and I was an HA. My cousin is an active duty Major in the Army (he's a surgeon). I know a bit about military medicine. I've seen good medical providers and I've seen some that shouldn't be anywhere near sick people.
I've seen/known plenty of both and I thinks they are. It's OK for us to disagree FYI.My point is this, the military medical providers are no better or worse than those in the civilian sector.
Yes it would be, and would also not even make sense - but I didn't say that.Just saying military medical providers are all hosed up because they are military seems a bit on the unfair side to me.
That's because you have an obvious strong bias and so appear incapable of discussing this objecively. You are right that I have an "ax to grind" though. Incompetency and/or a poor attitude from medical people is something I will always have an ax to grind about and with good reason.I think you have an ax to grind and may be talking out of your ass.
Just wondering. I have dealt with them and/or seen and heard many many accounts of them over the years and long ago concluded I wouldn't let the military ever do anything more medically advanced than give me a tetnus shot if I could help it.

PS thanks for the snotty little "bad rep point" or whatever it's called, ie: "UHM, 400 a month...and just for you? Dude, its a little over 400 a year for a fucking family. But cute try I guess." My my how some of you kids love the f word. How will I ever sleep knowing you dissed me privately with a snotty remark?
Given the severe immaturity and idiocy among some of you, I'd assume you are the "posers" (what a cute little term), but then I remember how many immature people I ran across in my military career....

That is really too bad Bill, because I have had excellent VA medical care, and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. I completely trust their services, advice, etc., with my life. It would cost me $5,000. a month with a private carrier to have the care I get free from the VA. I have all the latest designer drugs, technology, transportation, short appointment wait times, online & in-office monitoring, excellent medical professionals, and if they can't handle it, they will send me to experts. But there is no lengths they won't go for veterans. They even will retrofit your house or car or office etc. if you need special disabled care. I wish everyone could have the medical program I have.
Well since you refused to tell us about your military experiences upfront you immediately become suspect. Your initial posts indicated that you were a 20 year retiree, and that is normally believed to be 20 years on active duty. Now I am no expert on Reserve retirement but I have doubts that they actually retire at 20 years. Nor am I any professed expert at reserve benefits. But I can always ask the experts that I see when I volunteer over at the VA Clinic.
LOL2. We are not immature. Fuck you.
Glad you've had such positive experiences and thanks for an actual adult response.That is really too bad Bill, because I have had excellent VA medical care, and wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

Wow!
There appears to be a lot of XNAV corpsman here.
I sometimes regret not pursuing a medical career in the NAV.
I liked the work well enough, but that 18 mos in the Corps pretty much made me want out.

I did three FMF tours and I rendered my son his first salute at his USMC commissioning ceremony a few days ago.
I get my hair cut at a Marine barber shop, work out at the base gym and shop at the commissary and PX. The Marines are OK I guess.
Yes Warrior 102, it was at the museum. Since we live only a couple of miles away, my son had a big crowd of friends and workout buddies in attendance plus a large number of museum visitors stopped to watch. It was a great day.
