So, you are saying that when you looked on-line...BEFORE you had signed up...they showed that the MTF was full, and you had an option to go civilian?
Overall, I like the cost-protections of Prime, but prefer the proximity of Standard. I was leaning Standard until this thread popped up. If I understand you correctly, I'll take a second look at Prime.
Let me know if I have this right...thanks.
No, we didn't check before. We moved during the year (6 months after out yearly payment) and our intent was to see how Prime worked in our new area and bail if we didn't like it. Fortunately, it has worked out well.
I think you can pay quarterly, too. You might want to try it out to see how it works for you.
