Has anyone used the VA Health Benefits after separating? Apparently with my disability rating (40%), I get free preventative/in patient/out patient care for life, minor co pays required? Seems like a good thing when I'm 60 and need a new hip.
Any stories on this vs the airlines insurance? I didn't retire nor go guard/reserve, so no Tricare, but haven't heard much discussion about this "benefit."
I applied for VA health care when I separated as instructed during TAPS...got a random phone call a few months later and was told I was approved for lifetime health coverage at no cost. I haven't done anything with it and I have health care through my airline, but if I start falling apart in the future it may be handy. All I did was fill out an application.

The money isn't close at all. RAND pegged the figure in the ballpark of millions in pay difference between getting out at 12 and staying in for 20, even when making O-6 AND going to the airlines. Think of it this way: the year you delay getting out is the year your are making over a quarter of a million as a senior captain at age 65.

Funny, some of the biggest "skilled careerists" in my neck of the MAF are crossflow -130 guys who volunteer for every GO visit, leadership "lunch and learn", and cookie bake off.

I signalled I was leaning toward punching next year when ADSC is up...I too get a six month vacation to the sandbox. We have identified a trend.

Precisely why we need airpower leaders in these key positions. I intend to nonvol my absolute best flyers in the Wing here in Asia to these positions. I am confident my fellow CCs will follow suit. We need our best in these critical positions to win this war. And I intend to reward them career-wise on the backside.
You'd never be able to identify the 'best flyers'

I bought in AZ last month and I worked with Josh Goldberg...he did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier with his work!
