They have been awesome, and are helping me with the paperwork to get stationed where I can support my family the best I can, be it near family, or military treatment facilities. A HUGE weight off of myshoulders. I can continue my career, perhaps on a new path, but I can finish my service, and take care of my family!!
I also managed to win the battle of having my wife's prior facility removed from the Tricare sponsored doctor list. It takes a bit of time, but with my recorded conversation and their answers to my questions, it is most likely to be a quick process. I know its a small win, but its a start. If I can do that in a week, what can I accomplish in a year?
That is one of the reasons I miss the Army so much. I had fantastic support form the medical and addiciton specialists. I became visible again.
How much longer till you are done with your service? Retiring?

If you got that hospital off the Tricare list in a week, I suspect you will be running the post in a year.

I am so glad you have a diagnosis for your wife. Now, you know.
And knowledge is power.
