    Today I'm not loving the fact that I'm not sure if we are getting housing when we get to West Point.

    I know when I was a dependant, all of our health care was completely covered...100%. Dental, medical, whatever it may be, perscriptions too. I could go to the ER or wherever...and it was covered. But more and more I am hearing about t he changes. I am disappointed that the dependants (and service men/women) aren't getitng the same care they used to rely on.

    I am not military, nor am i a dependant anymore, but i wanted to offer my two cents.

    I know when Don got out the point system was very high. he was an E-7 when we got out and it was going to be at least 4 more years before he could make E-8.

    That and the fact we aren't in the military anymore. I really miss it

    The extended deployments

    And the fact that even if you make the score on the testing if there isn't any room to advance....you dont move!

    Yeah, Jackie's points for his MOS are maxed and there is no way he'll be getting promoted while they are that high.

    Melody, sorry you're having such a hard time with medical.
