MEDICAL COVERAGE AFTER THEY LEAVE
TAMP (Transitional Assistance Management Program) is a program that offers TriCare standard benefits to separated service members (and their dependents) for 180 days after separation. The coverage begins the day following separation, and you can then go to CHCBP (Continued Health Care Benefit Program- similar to COBRA at $933/quarter for service member, $1900 for family), The separated service member has to call and activate the TAMP benefits. That's it- just a phone call. The service member had to have served for than 30 days and the cause for separation has to be no fault of their own (like a medical condition). DEFINITELY worth looking into! Here's the info:

Becky - I sent you a private message
Comment by Fleur de lis Mom on August 22, 2010 at 9:30am
We will not know how she is getting home until the day before she leaves. We have told her to request 3 locations - big airport, small airport, med airport(the one she left from). I checked prices online the big one is the cheapest and we are willing to drive 2 hours to pick her up.

Mollies watches them training also - she is upset too. She said I could have done this. She did mention going back in a year when we talked yesterday. Id love to see her go to vo-tech or community college until then and try again.
Comment by Fleur de lis Mom on August 21, 2010 at 8:20pm
Mollie is scheduled to come home on Wednesday. So she will have been at Ship 5 for 2 weeks. I'm still not sure of her discharge code. She had given us two different codes and they do not match up with the ones listed.
Comment by Fleur de lis Mom on August 20, 2010 at 6:00pm
Her code is 2307 - I'm not sure if it is correct. All that I know is that it is medical. It will take 2 weeks for her. Others have come after her and are departing before her.
Comment by Fleur de lis Mom on August 20, 2010 at 3:18pm
Becky - I don't think the girls and guys ever see each other. Mollie has made a few friends, she said that she will get to come home on Wednesday. She will not know her travel arrangement until Tuesday - I hope its by plane. She said that some girls have been put on the bus.
Comment by Fleur de lis Mom on August 19, 2010 at 9:51pm
Mollie received 4 of our letters today. Yay!!!!!!!!
Comment by Fleur de lis Mom on August 19, 2010 at 11:04am
Question - will that letters that arrive after my daughter comes home be returned? It's been over a week and we have not received any letters from her and she has not received any letters for us. She did receive the book that I send overnight by UPS. I mailed a phone card yesterday and sent it Priority hoping she will receive it quicker.
Comment by beth t on August 17, 2010 at 8:03pm
Does any one have the address for the commanding officer for
ship 5? i want to overnight a letter from the drs regarding
my son maybe it will help
Comment by Fleur de lis Mom on August 17, 2010 at 5:14pm
Mollie went to the legal office today - the quickest she could be home is Friday - the latest on Tuesday. I called and asked for her to call me after she returned from the legal office. When she called, she also told me that she received the book that I sent her. I ordered it on Amazon.com yesterday and had it overnighted to her.

Sorry Becky...page 16 (below is the end result)

Comment by nikosmomDIV285 PIR 8/27/10 on July 8, 2010 at 6:18pm Dear All Division 5 moms,
today my son had a second opinion and was found not to have diplopia (double vision) and is being returned to recruit training this afternoon. I am so happy but I won't completely relax until I see him Pass In Review on 8/27. I want you all to know that my prayers and thoughts are with you all. Please continue to be advocates for your sons and daughters. If they are being told that they will be separated due to a medical condition, ask and fight for a second opinion. It is worth it to make sure that someone is not erroneously discharged. There is always hope! After the past 2 weeks of being a Division 5 mom, I truly believe this. And if your child does come home, it's okay too! With love and support, it's possible to overcome the sadness that follows a separation or discharge. I have appreciated the support and information from all of you. Thank you to SepsAdmin and Mr. Sentco at legal for all of their information. Take care and God Bless.
