re: Military Families

Quoting Sarah Bare-ah♡:" Can you switch only certain family members to standard or is it an all or nothing thing? Like all members or none."

You can switch just the ones you want. I went standard while the boys stayed prime when I was pregnant with Little R.

I think I'm going to switch the boys. I'm on hold for 30 minutes just to be told there are no available appointments far too often

That sucks. I make all the appts I can online.

We arent set up for that yet. I can email them but I cant set anything up.

I set it all up online. I had to get a DS logon and wait for that to come in the mail first. Only problem is for some reason, it doesn't list big R as one of my family members so I have to call for him. NBD, I guess.

Quoting J+D=4:" yeah I did a bungee ball once (like bungee but in the ball lol) and have a video of that. hubby was ... [snip!] ... he just didnt want throw up in front of strangers). I think I'd rather sky dive that bungee jump off a bridge of something. "

I would never bungee jump. You would think after jumping out of a plane at 13,000 feet it wouldn't bother me but I'm scared of it, lol. I don't blame your husband!

Here's the video of my landing:




I somehow landed on my vag, lol. You're supposed to lift your legs up during the landing (like they should be parallel to the ground) and I somehow flubbed it. Right at that time we hit some turbulence and it sent us into the ground at a high speed. I don't remember it hurting but it left a nasty bruise:


Anyway, this is me getting on the plane:



Honestly it was so tiny I was glad to jump out of it, lol. It was noisy too.

Standard > Prime. There's nothing more frustrating than what you just described.

ow! yeah, I think I might have to have someone push me out initially lol. but I want to do it.

I need to get my video transferred to CD...

I've always been on prime. what's the difference?

Standard there are cost shares, but you don't have you get referrals from your PCM to go places. As long as they accept Tricare, you just go.

oooh... I think for now I am too cheap to pay for the convenience. lol sounds good in theory though.

so I need to rant about my SIL again... brother is home from deployment. since she didn't stay at their duty station while he was away, he had to fly there first, then to our hometown where she has been staying. the day before he got home, she was on facebook posting how she was "tired of this.. same old bullsmurf" I thought he got delayed again, but she said no, that wasn't it. Then I thought maybe she found my bg account and this thread   but no. my mom told me today that she asked my brother about it, and he told her they were fighting. she was mad that for the one day that he had been back, he was having fun with his friends, and not sitting in his room skyping with her. the entire time he has been gone she has been going out having fun. she went to 2 concerts with me, and one with my sister this week! but he isn't allowed   mom said my SIL asked her to go to the airport with her to pick him up (something she had originally told everyone not to do. she didn't want them there). mom said that when they saw each other, they didn't hug or anything. just walked back. mom made them hug and kiss for a picture. she said it was so awkward. then he told my mom that he was unhappy and honestly would have divorced her already if he wasn't in the military.. he's scared he will never see his kids again... and my aunt is dying. she has been holding on to see him. I hope she "let's" him go. he told mom that when they move away from family, everything is good. but when they are around us, she gets jealous and controlling...

I've heard of the service member adapting a selfish "me" mentality while deployed but the wife when she has kids to care for seems crazy to me.
