I actually just got off of the phone with them. They said I could keep my son on my insurance if I want, but that he wouldn't be "allowed" to use it while on active duty. The gentleman I spoke to said everything should be covered. So it sounds like it just confuses things to have him on there...

I checked out the link that Capt MJ sent me. I will have to do some calling. It says Tricare Prime is the only insurance you can have if you are new active duty. But then it also talks about what to do if you have "Other Health Insurance" (OHI) via a employer sponsored health plan. There also...

Thank you k2. So would our insurance be secondary or the Tricare?

Pima, Thank you so much for the information, this was just what I was looking for. I appreciate the advice as well. DS went to college here in our town but he definitely is on his own. We have been lucky to have as much time together as we have the last few years. We have a nice easy...

Hello all, My son is heading for his first base in a few weeks, his EAD is in June. First, thanks for all the information you all were willing to share with us over the last four years. Though mainly a lurker, I learned alot about military life through your posts. I've also been lurking on a...

So proud of them all. 100% going to Field Training!

Yep! Det 255

Caitlyn, My son is at Max 2 so I still have a couple of weeks. I'm so anxious to hear how it's been going. Things being what they are these days with cel phones and email, I'm not used to talking to him at least once a week. Did I read you are in Iowa? We are too. Congratulations to you and...

Hello again all, As much as we would like to be there, we decided that we wouldn't go down for ds' graduation from Field Training. It's a long way and from what we've heard, you don't get much time with them. He was fine with that. Still, I wish I could see all the people he's gone through...

Nevermind, I figured it out. I have a lot to learn and reading is a wonderful thing ;-)

Nevermind, I figured it out. He's in MAX 2. I'm sure I'll be back. Thank you anyway!

I am new to this. What is MAX? And how do you know what number? Mine reported for SFT 6/3. Thanks!

Hi all and thanks in advance for the help. My ds is at SFT right now (I'm still learning acronyms). I am trying to send letter from home. I know which Flight he's in. But how do I know what MAX he is? Sorry, he's a very independent "I've got it covered Mom" kind of kid so I probably haven't...
