I will chime in on this one as well...having 2 kids in the military...for active duty you are only required to go to the base doctors...and in both my sons cases..that experience has NOT been a good one! Vision is not covered for the family on TriCare, and if you cant find a doctor or dentist that covers TriCare in the area you are stationed...lets say not on a ship but inland somewhere...good luck finding a doctor/dentist that will take it. .... just saying...
