Health Benefits

Sgt. April Cashdollar: Anybody knows everybody needs medical and it’s so expensive on the civilian side to get anything done. Here we have it available for us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; whether you be on leave or anything you’re doing, you always have that medical available to you. Which is very important.

Gunnery Sgt. Jorge Castillon: The Military will give you a list of providers that are working with the Military so you can actually go out in town and use the emergency room in a civilian hospital if you need to with no worry that you’re going to get a big bill later on.

Airman 1st Class Lucas Ferrari: They’re able to accommodate what we need. If we have a serious injury or something’s ailing us, they work with us very closely to get that resolved and get us in and out as best as we possibly can.

Staff Sgt. Erik Reichenbach: They just instated a new health care program for traditional Guardsmen, and you can get full health care and dental through the Guard as a traditional Guardsman, meaning one weekend a month and your annual training, two weeks in the summer. That’s actually a big deal, especially in these times, having health care.
