This needs to happen... Dual status technicians earn this benefit by serving in the military.... Since you can't afford to make us all AGRs at least give us the benefits we do earn... We should be allowed bonuses and all other benefits that M-Day reserve Soldiers earn. Dual status Technicians are doing more for the military then their M-Day peers but lose benefits by doing so... The status que is Not rightMay 24th, 2017Someone from Sherwood, AR signed.

I'm a Dual-Status Title 32 "Military" Technician. This means my job as a Federal Technician requires continued military service to remain employed. I have deployed on 3 separate tours and service for a total of 15 years as of next month. Normally I would qualify for the Tricare Reserve Select program because of my military service. Yet, because I am a Federal Technician and eligible for the interior Federal Employees Health Benefits FEHB, I should legally barred from Tricare eligibility unless on active duty orders lasting 90 consecutive days or longer. All we want is the same access to benefits that we have earned instead of being discriminated against because of our civilian employment. Any other reserve soldier with civilian employment is able to choose their preferred health care program. Why can't we? It is discrimination, pure and simple. It is also very poor for trying to maintain a skilled reserve force if the most skilled members are seeking new employment and leaving the military because they can't get the benefits they earned.REPORT COMMENTS

Signed. It is ludicrous Soldiers who are dual status can't get Tri-care select reserve like the other Soldiers.REPORT COMMENTS
