Christi and Andy - Tricare

[Guest guest]

Christi -

That is great news. I love how you are putting the press on them to

cover up the other $2k. My brother said you should be ablt to

squeeze the rest of it out of them.

Hopefully Andy can use your case as an example that the DOC Band is

necessary and he can get his money back too!
