This is a place to take a break from wood working if you want to talk about your soldier or sailor.

Comment by Paul Corona on November 17, 2011 at 5:59am this is pretty inspiring reading:
Hello all. Thanks for the invite. I'm retired Coast Guard, 22 years. Most of my time was spent in Alaska. Married, 3 children 6 grand kids, 1 son in law & 1 daughter in law. My wife and I live in Washington state.
Comment by Phil Rasmussen on September 4, 2011 at 3:36am Stephen, Your situation is not uncommon. All you need to do is to take your retirement papers to an ID facility. Wright-Pat is good. Before going check their hours and whether or not you need an appointment. Also you may need to go to DEERS which I would suggest that you do anyway, especially if you are married.
Now for all of the retirees out there who are not yet 65 and have TRICARE or TRICARE Prime. Look on the back of your ID card and you will see an expiration date for TRICARE. You need to be signed up for Medicare Part B before that date so that you don't loose any benefits. I was not aware of the date until I was speaking with a TRICARE rep. Fortunately I was out about $200 but I had to postpone a serious operation so that it would be covered.
One more thing that has nothing to do with ID cards but with Wright-Pat. If you have visited the Air Force museum there and saw that P-36 with the pilot in pajamas, that was my father.
Comment by Dominic Decker on September 3, 2011 at 4:48pm As a former U.S. Marine, I want to say thank you to whoever thought up the "The Patriot Woodworker" and this group! It is so comforting to know there are those out there who do genuinely support this great nation and those who are fighting/dieing for it, though they my not be military men themselves. It's just a great satisfaction to know, while I was over seas, there was support from back home, not just the guy next to you! Thank you all, and those who have served!

Thanks Paul, thanks for bringing this great organization to our attention. God Bless ya my friend.
