you can go pretty much go anywhere. if i remember correctly the efmp has different levels and it depends on where you are level wise with the efmp where you guys can go. i'm not 100% sure on that though. i do know for sure that if my hubby were to get stationed in japan i could not go with him cause there's not a place where i could be treated. but i think with the military they can send you pretty much anywhere as long as there is a cf clinic in the state. with my doctors appts austin is giving the day off work so that he can go with me, which is really nice cause i'm awful with directions and i would get so lost going (which is sad considering how many times i've been). austin has been in the marine corps for 2 years, 3 years (wow doesn't seem like it's been that long) in jan of this coming year. but i got my first round of iv's in like two years in jan. my cf docs actually had wanted to do iv's on me up here in nc for a while, but i always talked them out of it and had some excuse (cause i'm a slacker and i hate iv's). but over the course of two years my hubby has been deployed once and i moved back home (he was only gone for 6 months). still don't know if that helped ya, but keep the questions coming! it's better to ask than to sit and worry about it!

I am in Everett Washington (about 30 minutes north of Seattle). My soon to be exhusband is in the Navy. Julie is stationed at the same base that he is. I never had to really worry about my medical care. I have free insurance through my job and my CF docs are in my network. So I decided to keep it when got married so that I wouldn't have to deal with getting referals, and I can also see any primary doctor I want. My insurance also covers some things that Tricare doesn't, like accupunture.

Julie's husband goes to the same clinic I do. He had to get a referal from the doc on base, but I understand that this was not an issue for them.

Hi Joy,

I do know that some families have been overseas (Liza is one), but we were told that we could not get clearance for an overseas assignment. Another factor for us, is my husband's career field. He is limited to jet fighter bases. Of course, things change all the time and believe it or not varies from base to base or even person to person. Stateside to stateside assignments are based on so many factors.
