"You Might Be A Military Wife If......."

1. Your mail goes to four addresses in two countries
before it reaches you.
2. You earned an Accounting degree by deciphering
your husband's LES and running a family on what
was ACTUALLY deposited.
3. "Savings" sounds like a great idea and you hope
to someday have some.
5. You can simultaneously be a control freak, change
plans on a moment's notice, yet you are not being
treated for schizophrenia.
6. You know the Tricare regulations/procedures better
than their service reps.
7. You know what forms you need better than your
husband's Admin clerk.
8. You are strangely attracted (or repulsed) by the
color green.
9. You can calculate the cost of a 5-minute phone
call from any country, any time, on up to four different
calling plans.
10. At a distance, you can pick out your husband from
100 other men with identical haircuts and clothes.
11. The face paint in your closet is NOT for your children.
12. Name tapes are not just for kids.

Is Tricare the 'new and improved' CHAMPUS?

Last Thanksgiving my son was home from the army, and came down with
bronchitis and went to the local ER. My old health insurance kept
sending us "he's not covered" letters (DUH!!) and the hospital wanted us
to send his current health plan (US Army). I think they finally
straightened things out last week....maybe. We just keep sending
everything to the kid.

  Only 2? I don't want to think about all the places my mail
went while I was on deployment.

  And LES is pretty easy to read. Making ends meet can be hard,
though.
