Happy birthday @usairforce! 🎉
Military teens need our help. Imagine experiencing financial or food insecurity because the constant uncertainty of military life makes it hard for military spouses to stay employed. Make a difference in the lives of #MilTeens and families by donating to support the family members who serve, too: https://loom.ly/FvY0llM
Did you know pregnancy isn’t considered a “Qualifying Life Event” (QLE) for TRICARE? That means expectant moms on TRICARE Prime often have only one care option—their local Military Treatment Facility (MTF)—and can’t switch plans even if the MTF is understaffed or has long wait times. This isn’t right! No military family should worry about accessing quality care during pregnancy. Let’s urge Congress to make pregnancy a QLE and give military families the same options civilians have. https://loom.ly/_EuS6OE
