Tri-Care for the Wife while I'm at RTC?

Hello all,

How is it that I can get Tri-Care and military ID for my wife whilst I'm at RTC?

Not long after you get to RTC you will fill out your page 2 info, dependent information. Once that is complete your wife can go to the nearest deers office and get her dependent ID.

To add -
DEERS offices can be on any military base, not just Navy.

If I remember correctly, by default she'll get TriCare standard. If she wants to switch to prime it has to be before the 18th of the month, otherwise it will take an extra month to go into affect.
