    TMW 028: Tricare Roundtable - The Good, The Bad, and How to Improve TRICARE

    TRICARE is the military medical program, and is available to active duty, retirees, Guard / Reserve, and their family members. In today's podcast, we're doing a roundtable interview to discuss TRICARE - the good, the bad, and the ugly. In this episode we primarily focus on TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Reserve Select. We cover a lot of ground, including some areas where TRICARE shines, some of the issues we've experienced, and some of the areas where we would like to see improvements. Overall, TRICARE is substantially more affordable and offers greater coverage than many other health care programs that can be purchased in the civilian market place.

    TMW 026: Guard & Reserve Retirement Points

    Most military members know how active duty retirement works. But do you know how retirement works through the National Guard and Reserves? The Reserve retirement system is based on earning Retirement Points for your service. In this  Guard & Reserve Retirement Point Guide, we discuss what Points are, how to earn them, the minimum and maximum Points you can earn in a year, how to translate your active duty service time to Points for the Guard or Reserves, how many points the different types of service are worth, how to earn more Retirement Points, and finally, how to put this all together to estimate your Point total to calculate your Reserve retirement pay. Whew ~ that sounds like a lot! And it is! But I've broken it down in a way that makes it easy to understand. After this podcast, you'll be able to talk about Retirement Points like a seasoned NCO!

    Did you know that many military veterans don’t want to file a service-connected disability claim with the VA when they separate from active duty?

Some of these myths surround who is eligible to apply for veterans disability benefits, how a disability rating may impact your future career, whether or not you can serve in the Guard or Reserves if you have a service-connected disability rating, how disability compensation affects military retirement pay, the amount of time you can wait before filing a disability claim (hint: there is no time limit!), where to find help when filing a claim, and much more!
