Check the TriCare and VA websites for details pertaining to your specific situation. I have not had any experiences with Standard yet but my understanding is that there are nominal copays for care that are capped annually. The VA will accept anyone with honorable military service subject to means testing. My spouse qualified due to her 5 years of service post Vietnam but has the copay. The VA really relaxed the eligibility rules a few years ago. I never used to be a fan of VA medical care but the clinic here seems to be very good. Once you hit 65, TriCare For Life is the way to go.
