Fibber

Watching Deal or No Deal on TV. The contestant is a young woman, mid to late twenties, married for 2 years to a man she said is in the military. No big deal. Cool. Until she mentioned that she auditioned because they didn't have health insurance. WHATTTTTTTTTT???????????? He's in the freakin' Military and they didn't have health insurance? Right at this moment, my nostrils are flaring up. That's the biggest fib I've heard in a while. I am a military wife. I know for a fact health insurance is 100% covered by the military. I know for a fact the military guarantees roof over your head. I know for a fact you are guaranteed to eat more than 3 times a day with the military paycheck. Heck, they even pay 100% for lapband surgeries!

I know she's probably just trying to get the banker's sympathy. But I don't like hearing bullshit. Specially at the expense of the military. Girl, get your facts straight. I hope you lose.

Well...honestly, she could be telling the truth, you know. Because remember, unless you're enrolled in DEERS, you can't get TriCare.

So...either she's full of crap...or just plain stupid to not know about something so widely advertised within the military community.

Either way, I also hope she'd lose!

des: if that's the case, then they are more than stupid. health insurance, college education, and fat bonuses are just a few of the baits used by recruiters to reel in prospective enlistees. and i bet if you are in the military and not getting health insurance, the first thing you'd do is ASK where the heck is the health insurance that mofo recruiter promised me?

hubby thinks he's a reservist. unless they get activated, they don't enjoy the full benefits. i still think she's full of crap. and it looks like she'll be winning a lot of money. they have 9 million dollar cases, and so far, she's doing well. i'll find out next week. lol

Yea, that's what I thought. The military takes care of its own, di ba?
