MTF is an option if you want to stay in Prime and waive the distance rule. However, the nearest MTF is McDill which is more than 1 1/2 hours away (one way). Tricare Standard seems to work well for folks until TFL kicks in. Another option (which we started using since we lost Prime) is the VA Clinic here in TV.
