Actually I was not talking about training from the Matrix.
If you notice on the link you provided there are multiple parameters.
1. Attending ROTC classroom instructions, All enrolled Cadets.
Yes, Military Treatment Facilities
~~~This is where I was coming from.
2. Participated in Authorized, Supervised Scheduled Field or HazardousTraining. All Cadets.
Yes, Military Treatment Facilities.
~~~ This is where you were coming from.
Now for me as an OP if you said when I asked for bennies, including medical and you provided the link. I would have assumed that it would have been what I listed as number 1.
It states if you are attending ROTC you have health insurance.
As I have always stated the Devil is in the Details. If you don't know the system and ASSUME, you are boffed!
OBTW, before you go to LDAC or SFT, they do what Nick stated earlier. That is when you get SGLI. Injure yourself there they will patch you up, get you back to where you were prior, but once they have you there, you are back on your insurance.
Additionally, as I stated Tri-Care takes 2nd place in billing. You may see a doc as an MTF, but your personal insurance will be billed 1st. Tri-Care picks up the rest. So please don't think if you break your leg doing PT that your insurance won't get billed. It will. The difference is TriCare will pick up the difference.
I am not trying to slam Tri-Care or the military system. I am trying to disseminate the facts.
Reality is when SOD Gates says health insurance premiums are on the table for budget cuts regarding retirees (no.3 on the list), I would not tell future cadets that health care is a bennie or to expect to use it; unless G forbid! Even at that point the cost is not going to be an issue, raising your right hand and taking the oath will be. If you have to use the MTF you are now in the DodMERB world.
Remember to get commissioned you will take another DodMERB physical shortly before graduation. They will determine if you can serve, just like in the scholarship process.
DS is AFROTC, UPT AFSC. He was sent on orders to OH for 5 days. 4 of them for medical testing. You think that 90 minute physical was a pain, and you worried over being DQ. Just wait, get a UPT, and they are hooking up EKGs to you, plus x-raying every part of your body. You don't want to give them a reason to look deeper medically
Again, I am coming from an AF POV, you are coming from Army. We need to do the best to make sure that every candidate/cadet understands every branch is different and every career field is different when it comes to qualifications.
