If you let them do their job, it gives them a real lift and brightens their day too. Some good and some not so good, but I glad I did it. I am concerned about the Tri Care program also. My concern is that so many people are having bad things to say about it. Well, I am here in southern Oregon and there is no military facility close by.
Extras require a job.
I am lucky right now and making a good life. Don't carry a burden to retirement. Since then, I retired from a civilian job and have been enjoying myself. I retired in Colorado Springs where we have Fort Carson, Falcon AFB, Peterson AFB, Norad and the Air Force Academy. So, hang in if you are considering retiring cuz it is worth the wait.
