Title: Anybody heard anything from Peter Lee? Post by: lswote on May 18, 2004, 04:00:00 AM Maricel should be in the states now. Has anyone heard anything from him? He hasn't posted anything in a couple weeks.

Glad to hear you're getting used to things. I'm curious - what about life in Florida is pretty much as you expected and what things are completely different than you expected? - Jeff Title: Re: Re: Anybody heard anything from Peter Lee?

Wow Peter, you are in your sixties and your mother is still alive? I am only 50 and my parents have been dead for many years. You must have some good genes. Maricel's English is quite good. Are you able to cover your dependents immediately on retired military? I am a disabled veteran and I wasn't able to add my wife to my VA medical until we had been married a year (but I didn't add her even after a year because VA medical is not very good).

Hi Maricel, welcome to America! So, Peter is really nicer than you thought? Wow, that’s great! Be sure to remind him to get you one of those Platinum Visa cards for shopping… LOL! Peter, congratulations to both of you for surviving the visa process. I don’t know if you will be able to get her a dependent’s I.D. card unless she has an SSN. I think a K-3 normally needs an EAD before SS will give her an SSN, but they may make an exception if she needs the SSN for her military ID card and medical bennies. When you get her signed up for DEERS, be sure to check out signing up for Tricare Prime. It will only cost the two of you (and any future kids) $460/yr or $115/quarter. With the Prime, we pay nothing, zip, zero for all medical and prescriptions. If they let you use the military medical system for your primary care provider in your area, then it’s virtually free. Now that you have updated us, you may continue with the honeymoon (LOL) Ray |
