Be nice.”This is the holy trinity of PCS moving day advice, passed down like sacred wisdom in every base Facebook group and whispered over wine at every farewell dinner.

The first time someone suggests geo-baching, it doesn’t sound that bad. Maybe you’ve already been living apart half the time thanks to TDYs and deployments. Maybe your last PCS ripped the kids out of a great school, and you swore you’d never do that to them again. Maybe you’re just so close to locking in that civilian job you’ve been chasing for years, and you can’t justify walking away from it for another temporary move. So you have the talk.

Tricare is one of the biggest perks of military life, but most people don’t realize how much better it works when you know the system inside and out. Spouses who get the best care aren’t just lucky. They know exactly how to navigate Tricare’s red tape, avoid common delays, and use benefits most people ignore. If you’re only using Tricare at the bare minimum, you’re leaving benefits (and convenience) on the table.
