Just to clarify, since seeing that their are military retirees on this forum my sole intention of this thread was to provide information to my fellow military retirees. There was no desire on my part to instigate any sort of for or against argument related to military benefits, veterans, or the VA.
My concern was generated by the fact that there is something weird going on with the notification of this change. I only found out about it through my DAV newsletter and roughly two weeks later a post card from the Defense Health Agency/Tricare. I have spoken with others that have received neither form of notification.
