Last week David told me that there may be a way that the Army will pay for my dental work. I found out today that only a part of it will be $2500 and that is only a part of it. Our insurance will only cover up to $1250 a year so that means I have to pay the rest out of pocket. When David told me of the program I got excited and hopeful but since then he has not got any more information. He has not asked to be taken where he needs to go, he has (as far as I know) not even mentioned it to anyone. I sometimes wish that I could light a firecracker and drop it down his pants to get him moving. I know that they are busy over there and that he has a lot going on but I also know that he has down time and days where he does nothing.
I know this is not true but I feel sometimes that he does not care enough about me to make the effort to just ask to take care of things. For instance, his pay has been messed up since he got there and he has not talked to finance to get it fixed. Another example is this whole dental thing. I know that he loves me but sometimes I cannot help but wonder.

sweetie, that is not him not loving you, that is his lazy personality. he has always been that way. and for that matter so are my other 2 brothers, lol. i used to feel like their mother as a child growing up and trying to motivate them just to get chorse done. i feel your frustration. can you call and find the info?
Laura, I am trying to be understanding regarding his personality but it is hard! I get so frustrated and it does not help being in pain and afraid of the upcoming surgery. I am not able to call or get anything done. Firstly I do not know where to go, secondly I was told it was something he has to request. Regarding his pay being messed up, I know I cannot do anything about that. I have tried. Ugh, so frustrating.
tracie, if you got a power of attornet before he left, which you should have bc its depolyment protocol, you can do just about anything they tell you only he csn do lol! Call your FRG leader, and ask for the number to finance or at least the location to the finance building. Print of his LES's from mypay to show the pay is wrong and get at them. They might try and give you the run around but you can get things changed if he doesnt get around to it, just gotta be pushy :)
Same with dental information. Call United Concordia or whoever you have for dental coverage and give it to them... they will work with you if you mention contacting David's OIC if they dont...
Jessica. In Kansas you have to have a special poa, not just a general durable poa. For finance you have to have a special finance poa. I have 6-7 other ones, just not that one. David has to get that done there in Iraq. I spoke to finance and went down to finance to speak to them. Also, David has to get a copy of his orders but he cannot remember the website to get them from and they will not give me that information because it is for soldiers only. As far as United Concordia they do not have the program that David was telling me about. That is something through the Army, sorta like a grant. Again, it is something he has to start because he has to request it as the soldier. :( I have checked everything I can check and talk to so many people my eyes are going crossed lol.
