This week's Army Times

[Pete]

Hmmmm, lets see.

Big Article on Tri Care and the need to increase fees. Warning to all you folks that believe a politician's promise. Tri care came about because of the big "free health care for life" stink that started about 20 years ago and ended up 15 years ago with Tri Care. Tri Care was formed to offer the vet and his family the "free health care for life" at just a little cost.

All that is gone in these new talks - Tri Care is just another insurance program and needs to raise fees. So much for "Free"

Hmmmmm, Hmmmmmm - Up or out. The Army must be doing OK it is lowering the up our out for the lower grades. SSG down from 23 to 20; SGT(P) 20 to 15; SGT 15 to 13; E4(P) stays at 12; E4 10 to 8; PVT/PFC 8 to 5.

And trails for the new rifle should take two years.
