Hello, I am a new Navy Wife and I have 2 little kids, my son is 2 1/2 years old and my daughter is 4 months old.  Our Medical Insurance is about to run out from my husband's old Job, it expires the last day of December.  I have not received the Tri-care Insurance form, I think this also includes the info on getting my ID Card.  Anyhow, it's making me nervous that we could be un-insured for a while, while waiting for Tri-care to kick in.  If I didn't have little ones I wouldn't be as concerned, but you know Murphys Law, and it would be my luck that someone gets sick during this transition.  Does anyone know how long it takes to get the Tri-care form in?  My Husband has been gone for 2 weeks now and I have not received any calls or letters from him with exception of the day he arrived at boot camp, and his graduation Packet. Anyone have any advice on what I should do?

Call the recruiter and get your hubbies address so you can write him.  When you send him a letter, ask him to send you the paperwork so you can go get your ID and ask him if he filled out the Tricare paper work for you and the kids.

 

You might get a phone call 1/2 way though bootcamp or your next phone call might be the I am a Sailor call.  There is no telling when (or if) you will get another phone call.  Also it could be a few weeks before you get mail from him.

Tricare

 

Above is a hyperlink for Tricare, you can call them if you want.  When they ask for the sponsor's SS#, that is your hubbies SS#.

Thank you so much everyone, my Prayers have been answered, and I actually got a call from my Husband this evening.  Apparently when I called the recruiter and told them my Insurance was about to expire, he got word to the people up at boot camp and it got the ball rolling.  He called me and requested that I fax Birth Certif, for all of us, and our Marriage License.  Hope that means he is signing us up on his end.  Whatever it is, it's a good sign...
I also wanted to add, that he said he and half his division got the Flu, but other then that he is doing ok.  He has been gone 2 weeks now...
