I read on about.com about most things, but there are a few that concern me. Medical and dental care....they said the deductible for medical is 300 a month for family, and for dental its usually about 35 a month...can anyone give their experiences with the army health care system? Also, How long is the waiting list to live on base, and i know there is subsidized housing pay, but when the time comes to relocate, do they help you FIND housing while waiting for on base housing, or are you on your own? Thank you, anything helps.
--------------------
Medical is free and if dental runs around $20/month then a co-pay if any work is done (link for dental is below). I am in the Air Force, but have been lucky enough to spend 14 of my 19 years on Army posts. Usually when you arrive to a new base they will let you stay in TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility) for up to 10 days. Anything over 10 days is out of your pocket. When I got to Peterson AFB, CO the TLF was $33/night. Base housing waiting all depends on where you go. I was always able to get in under a month, but like they said it can take longer. If you have orders somewhere you can get on the waiting list before you arrive. http://www.tricaredentalprogram.com/tdpt
Good luck.
