Long, long ago, GEICO was called Government Employees Insurance Corporation. It was all we could get when stationed overseas.

I remember that. As an E-1, 2 or 3, I couldn’t even get GEICO. Wasn’t eligible until I reached NCO rank. Had to get mine from an outfit called Criterion. This would have been in Virginia, 1970-71.

I thought it still stood for that, but one did not have to be a government employee to get it. I think I first had it in 1965, and kept it untill I left in 2004. I was never a government employee.
