I know this thread is for tunes for our Troops. But this message needs to be got out. There is no link for it or I would have posted it. So please forgive the intrusion. This is for our Retiree’s. I am the daughter of a WW2 Vet Pacific theater under MacArthur. Married to a Ret. SCPO.
TRICARE LIFE Retired Military over 65 just received this noticed 2 weeks ago, takes effect 4/14/2014, why they sent a prelim with out the drug list is WASTEFUL spending in itself! BETTER START CALLING YOUR CONGRESS CRITTERS NOW! ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE TO THE MILITARY WHO CAN’T PROTECT THEMSELVES!
PLEASE NOTE THE PALM GREASING IN THE FIRST LINK! THAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM, NOT Retiree’s health care. WE need a better way to report fraud and abuse, which their computer system should be catching. Like internist running same test as Specialist. Or running EKG, Chest Xray and thyroid panels on patients who have no need of them. That is Bill PADDING.
ALL RETIRED MILITARY! All I see is a nightmare. ES cannot be trusted to get the RIGHT manufacture, and some of mine have to be from that manufacture even if it is a generic. Different Manufacturer’s different fillers.
As a very drug sensitive person, I WANT A WAIVER! And should be able to get one. Or get samples to try first!
I did not include the cover letter.
This is couched in such language that it is hard to under stand. This is a Prelim letter, we don’t even know at this time which drugs are going to be on the list. Waste of money to not send out the full thing.
These are the option we are going to be given in a “new” SCREW U Pilot program from Tricare.
1 Transfer your medication from a retail pharmacy to save , convenient Tricare Home Delivery and pay less out of pocket! A typical cost for a 90 day retail supply is $51 but only $13 for Home Delivery.
2 Ask your doctor about using a low cost generic that is not among the medications included in the Pilot Generics can still be filled at retail for $5
3 Transfer maintenance medications under the Pilot from retail pharmacy to a military pharmacy. Call your local military pharmacy to see if they have you medication
4 Continue to get you selected maintenance medications at a retail and pay 100% of the cost of the medication starting with your third refill.
If you refill your selected maintenance medication’s at a retail pharmacy after March 14, 2014 you’ll get letters from the Tricare Pharmacy contractor Express Scripts, Inc about switching to Home Delivery. Remember, starting with your third fill you will be responsible for 100% of the cost of the medications if you chose to continue to obtain them at a retail pharmacy.
If you have other health insurance with a prescription benefit, you do not fall under the Pilot. There will also be a process to obtain waivers on a case by case basis, due to personal need or hardship, emergency or other special circumstaces-0 such as living in a nursing home. After participating in the Pilot for 1 year you may opt out.

Báidín is an old Irish word (Gaelic) for a small boat, and Fheilimí is a version of a boy's name Phelim or Felim. So this song title means Phelim's small boat. It dates to the 17th Century.
The song is in 'Donegal' Irish and some of the words used in this dialect are different to other mainstream Irish dialects. The song is renowned for it's vocal and musical attributes rather than it's simple lyrics about a courageous fisherman and his tiny boat that winds up lost and wrecked on the rocks near Toraí (Toraigh) Island. It's popular at singsongs as most Irish people would be familiar with the song which is taught to all Irish school children at a young age and has the repetitive quality of a nursery rhyme.
Feilim's Little Boat Phelims (Báidín Fheilimí) tells the story of Feilimí Cam Ó Baoill, (Phelim O’Boyle), one of the Ulster chieftains of the Rosses (in Donegal) in the 17th century, who was a soldier but also a fisherman. He had to flee to the Islands off the coast of Donegal to escape his feuding archenemy Maolmhuire an Bhata Bhuí Mac Suibhne. Toraí Island is further offshore and seemed safer than Góla, but his little boat wrecked on the rocks. The song is one of defiance and bravery in spite of terrible odds. It is a song of encouragement that we should be true to ourselves even if being true means 'defeat'. A song of the beauty of freedom. And a song of the power of the sea as a metaphor for the unconscious mind. It shows that we can never escape our soul.

Filum's little boat and Filum on it.

Lough Swilly (Irish: Loch Súilí, meaning "Lake of Shadows" or the "Lake of Eyes") in Ireland is a glacial fjord or sea inlet lying between the western side of the Inishowen Peninsula and the Fanad Peninsula, in County Donegal. Along with Carlingford Lough and Killary Harbour it is one of three glacial fjords in Ireland.
At the northern extremities of the lough are Fanad Head with its famous lighthouse and Dunaff Head. Towns situated on the lough include Buncrana on Inishowen and Rathmullan on the western side. At the southern end of the lough lies Letterkenny.
The lough is also famous for its wildlife-watching (dolphins, porpoise, sea birds, migratory geese and swans) and diving on the numerous ship wrecks.
In the south of the lough a number of islands (Burt, Inch, Coney, Big Isle) were poldered and the land reclaimed during the 19th century for agriculture and the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway constructed embankments on the line from Derry to Letterkenny. These reclaimed lands are now regarded as one of Ireland's premier wetlands for wildlife conservation and birdwatching, supporting over 4,000 Whooper Swans and thousands of Greenland white front, Barnacle, Greylagg and Brent geese.
Steeped in history the lough and the Grianán Ailigh hill fort (early fortification and palace dating from 2000–5000 BC) at its southeastern bend was recorded on Ptolemy's map of the world. It has numerous early Stone Age monuments and Iron Age fortifications along its shores as well as a number of shell middens dated to approximately 7000 BC. It is most famous for being the site of the Flight of the Earls. After a failed uprising, in September 1607, Hugh O'Neill, 2nd Earl of Tyrone and Rory O'Donnell, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell, the last Gaelic chieftains and upholders of Brehon law in Ireland at that time, set sail from Rathmullan with ninety of their followers.
Due to its natural shelter and impressive depth the lough was an important naval port. In October 1798, immediately prior to the outbreak of the Napoleonic wars, a French fleet carrying Wolfe Tone of the United Irishmen, plus troops to assist in 1798 rebellion, was intercepted and defeated in a naval battle at the entrance to Lough Swilly. Subsequently Tone was captured and taken ashore at Buncrana on the east side of the Swilly.
A subsequent reassessment of the threat of invasion led to the building of a series of fortifications guarding the different approaches and landing points within the lough which were completed between 1800 and 1820. Martello towers were built around 1804 to defend the approaches to Derry. The six towers, were armed with smoothbore cannon, firing round shot. Immediately prior to the First World War the War Office improved the Napoleonic forts and their armaments as well as adding an additional fort at the entrance to the lough at Lenan Head with 9 inch guns (12-mile range) – the largest in Ireland at the time. The remains of these fortifications can still be inspected at Lenan Head, Fort Dunree (now a military and wildlife museum), Ned's Point, Buncrana, Inch Island and on the west coast at Rathmullan, Knockalla and Macamish Point.
During the First World War, the lough was used by the Royal Navy as an anchorage for elements of the Grand Fleet, an amalgamation of the pre-war Home and Atlantic Fleets, under Admiral Jellicoe and a gathering/staging point for Atlantic convoys. During this period a boom was placed across the lough between Macamish and Ned's point, supported by a number of trawlers to prevent U-Boat attacks. After the Irish War of Independence the lough was also one of the Treaty Ports specified in the Anglo-Irish Treaty until its final handing over at Fort Dunree in 1938.
Irish musician, composer and reknowned producer Phil Coulter is best known to pop audiences as co-writer of Number 1 hits like The Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night" and "Shang-A-Lang; "Puppet on a String", "Congratulations", "Back Home" and "Forever and Ever" performed by the Glaswegian performer Christian; "Fancy Pants" by the glam rock band Kenny; "Requiem" by the Scottish pop group Slik; "Surround Yourself with Sorrow" by Cilla Black; "Thanks" performed by Bill Anderson and "My Boy", sung by Elvis Presley. In 2007, Coulter joined with Sharon Browne, one of the originators of the successful Celtic Woman production, to collaborate on formation of a male version of that production called Celtic Thunder. He has some 23 platinum records, 39 gold and 52 silver albums. He's received an Ivor Novello Award for Songwriting and in 2001 he was nominated for a Grammy Award in the "New Age" category. He continues to be a popular performer in his native country and around the world in places such as The White House and Carnegie Hall.
In 2002, Coulter was encouraged by the Save the Swilly organization to run for Dáil in order to protect Lough Swilly from aqua-cultural destruction. After some deliberation, he concluded that work and family commitments would not allow him the time necessary to fill the political position. Around that time, Coulter's brother died in a drowning incident in Ireland, which also caused Phil to retreat from the music industry for some time, but he has aggressively supported the Save the Swilly organization and this beautiful composition featuring Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor illustrates his love of the region.
