The Stars & Stripes<\/a> reports that some former members of the AIr Force were misled when they were involuntarily separated from the Air Force this year in regards to their health benefits;<\/p>\n

A captain who left the Air Force late last month said he had been promised 180 days of medical coverage, but learned when he separated that wouldn\u2019t be the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a hit in the gut,\u201d the Times quoted him as saying. \u201cIt\u2019s terrible. They asked us to get out, and the last day you go and they say, \u2018You don\u2019t get this.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

A major who separated Sept. 29 said he had gotten mixed messages about extended health care, and recently was told he would have coverage, the paper reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been told conflicting things since April,\u201d he said. \u201cNobody had any guidance until two or three weeks ago. The family center that does transition, they didn\u2019t know, and didn\u2019t get a list of what benefits would come. They defaulted to the line that if you volunteer, you don\u2019t get six months medical. As we\u2019re following up, in the last month or so [before separation], my wife called the DEERS field office, they looked at the code, and said, \u2018Yeah, you\u2019re entitled to the benefits.\u2019 \u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, apparently, the rule is just like he ones when you enlisted – if it’s not in writing, it was never valid promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
