Because its a standard security clearance question.

Are you missing the fact they are collecting this info on people who are not military?

I wonder if they have my 1965 ticket for doing SEVEN mph in a FIVE mph zone on NTC San Diego?

Back in the’70s I was a civilian programmer for the Marine Corps PX system, and heard of a good use computerized data, although of a different sort.

It seems some new officer took over the 29 Palms PX and after a few months, the place was reporting a big increase in sales/profits. The ever-trusting auditors went out there to see why, believing that the previous head had skimmed some bucks.

Turned out the guy was computer-savvy. He checked the base’s auto registration files against the gas station inventory and found that while most everybody had switched to the compact, better gas mileage cars with their smaller tires, the station was still carrying a majorty of big wheels. He had them get their inventory more in line and sales increased there.

Then he checked out the ages of the dependents and found they were a young crowd with kids. He expanded the Pampers and feminine supplies sections and again sales increased.

That was the first time I had seen the military use computer data in a commercial way.

[Sidebar] One weird side issue was the massive increase in medium-sized Kotex pads. The demographics didn’t point that way but the shelves were always empty, no matter how much they bought. Finally an old Gunny tipped them off. The medium size, when wrapped around the rammers, were a perfect for oiling the barrels of the 105MM howitzers.

ALL RETIRED MILITARY! goes into effect 4/14/14 YOU LOSE YOUR PHARMACY if it is not ES!

All I see is a nightmare. ES cannot be trusted to get the RIGHT manufacture, and some of mine have to be from that manufacture even if it is a generic. Different Manufacturer’s different fillers.

As a very drug sensitive person, I WANT A WAIVER!

This is couched in such language that it is hard to under stand. This is a Prelim letter, we don’t even know at this time which drugs are going to be on the list. Waste of money to not send out the full thing.

These are the option we are going to be given in a “new” SCREW U Pilot program from Tricare.

1 Transfer your medication from a retail pharmacy to save , convenient Tricare Home Delivery and pay less out of pocket! A typical cost for a 90 day retail supply is $51 but only $13 for Home Delivery.

2 Ask your doctor about using a low cost generic that is not among the medications included in the Pilot Generics can still be filled at retail for $5

3 Transfer maintenance medications under the Pilot from retail pharmacy to a military pharmacy. Call your local military pharmacy to see if they have you medication
4 Continue to get you selected maintenance medications at a retail and pay 100% of the cost of the medication starting with your third refill.

If you refill your selected maintenance medication’s at a retail pharmacy after March 14, 2014 you’ll get letters from the Tricare Pharmacy contractor Express Scripts, Inc about switching to Home Delivery. Remember, starting with your third fill you will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the medications if you chose to continue to obtain them at a retail pharmacy.

If you have other health insurance with a prescription benefit, you do not fall under the Pilot. There will also be a process to obtain waivers on a case by case basis, due to personal need or hardship, emergency or other special circumstaces-0 such as living in a nursing home. After participating in the Pilot for 1 year you may opt out.

It is going to have to run its course now, and that is going to be bloody, bloody, bloody for some.

The people behind this know that the more one's morals and principles are lowered, the less they desire they desire freedom, independence, and responsibility. The less their pride of ownership is. Instead of owning a car for their transportation , they are satisfied to ride a Government train or bus. Instead of living in their own house, they are content with an apartment in a Government housing project. Instead of working for themselves via owning a business, they are content with being on welfare.

As long as their EBT cards remain full. As long as they have enough sex. As long as they have alcohol to drink, dope to smoke March Madness to watch on television. The vast majority are happy as a cow in clover. Being fattened for slaughter day.

You're illegally parked. Show me you hands and slowly get out of the car.

I hope you’re wrong...I fear you are correct.

It may be a standard security clearance question but you can be sure Obama lied about it. He racked up hundreds of dollars of parking tickets and fines when he was at Harvard. Only when he began his run for the presidency did someone come in and pay his tickets for him.

I guess they have my 1984 parking ticket as well as my 1990 speeding ticket too. I think like the “Tower of Babel, it will fail one day.

No I didn’t. DoD Civilians also need clearances.
