DEERS

So now we are in the process of getting enrolled in Tricare (health insurance). In order to do that we have to call an office in Arlington, VA to correct the information that DEERS (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System) has on Michael. As I said before, they are only showing that he was in the service for 23 DAYS. So we call the number for DEERS and they give us the number for Army Human Resources which gives us a voice mailbox to leave our information so that someone can contact us...I don't think so. I will be finding and speaking to an actual person about this today if it kills me!
DEERS shows the 23 days thing and said that they have no record of Michael being on TDRL, Tricare says that we are not eligible. UGH! More footwork to do. As my friend said, "Hurry up and wait," and "Don't get excited."
