I'll be separating soon and the biggest thing I'll miss is the healthcare. Not having literally any bills for any medical treatment is fantastic.
It's funny for Republicans to want to keep over funding the military, given that the biggest expense is the socialized healthcare.
It's not exactly the same but the VA will cover your healthcare once you're out as long as you go to them for it
I think you'll still qualify for Tricare after you get out. Before my Dad passed, he was on Tricare (after having been out of the military for decades) and I think they only just recently started charging for it the past few years, but it was still ridiculously cheaper than any private health insurance rates (for him it was something like $12/month vs $600/month private insurance). I stayed away from getting him on because I assumed there was something wrong with it, but nope, I only regret not getting him on Tricare sooner.
