To be clear, the premise of the story is that the nation honors MOH recipients for life. The premise of the blog is earned benefits of service. I do not believe you will find anything on the blog which supports service or sacrifice for the sake of benefits.

Good point - I have asked my Senate contacts for further clarification. I will update the article as soon as I hear one way or the other.

I recommend that you contact TRICARE to get those answers. The NDAA does not include any details about administrating TRICARE.

It does not mention TRICARE for Life. The Bill does ensure no "new" TRICARE premium changes - meaning the previously scheduled increases apply,but no new hikes are planned.
