Me. Tri-care put a lien on my settlement for close to 14K because of an accident I had. And they got it all. This accident was no fault of mine.

They got it all from you or from the insurance agency? Parts of settlement are to cover medical care. They always asked my wife if she had any other insurance at the army hospital, it is policy to bill private carriers.
I ask who has had to pay their bill because they were not wearing the required equipment or a compatible offence. You example does not fit because they would of billed the guys insurance company regardless.
As an example, I was in a GSA car, I got hit in the rear end at a red light. I was ordered when I got back to my station to go to the army hospital and get checked out, just in case. A couple of days later I got a call and had to go in to provide the girls insurance information so they could bill them. You just feel it was taken from you because it came out of your settlement, when it would of never been paid to you in the first place.

Medical care is covered by medical insurance, which is what Tri-care provides. It has nothing to do with the settlement that I got. If I was covered by any civilian insurance company I wouldn't have had to pay them anything as that is the point of insurance, to cover you for medical bills. My settlement was for pain, suffering and loss. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

I don't know about today but back in 77, when I was active duty AF, I wrecked my bike and severly dislocated both shoulders. Not only did the AF bill my insurance for my medical bills I received an article 15 for taking part in a non approved activity. Aint that some sh*t.

As a 24 year active Army Vet, civilains don't have the right to go onto a military base just because they want to. It doesn't matter if you're a taxpayer, soldiers pay the same taxes you do. There job is the security of this country, and if you can't follow the rules of the post, then go somewhere else and whine, like Starbucks! I know when I go onto Fort Hood, exactly what I have to have when I get to the gate, I show it, (with my reflective vest), and am polite, and always get "have a nice day Frist Sergeant" when they let me through.

In my career, and through many years of command, I never saw, initiated nor approved a Line Of Duty "NO" determination which is required to make someone pay for medical care. Not that there weren't plenty of soldier self-inflicted wounds that they should have paid for but, that's just no way to make it right.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe this article prevents you from gettin any head and also eatin some puddy pie. I wonder how many actually follow that rule. Let's hear from those who so fervently agree with the biker dress code on base about that.
