White House petition.

Post by ArrieS »

I've started a White House petition for equal benefits for Federal Civilians deployed in support of military operations in combat zones.

On my TDY orders is specificly states "The traveler is entitled to DoD provided health care in theater and medical evacuation from theater at the same level and scope provided to a military member. When traveler incurs a deployment-related medical emergency, the traveler is entitled to DoD provided emergency and continuing medical care at a DoD Military Treatment Facility at the same level and scope provided to a military member. (DoD Directive 1404.10, JAN 2009)."

If my TDY orders didn't state this or if I didn't have my TDY orders on me at the time I am wounded and the medical staff doesn't know me, I would not receive the same medical care because I would be treated under the Geneva convention. This relates specifically to my evacuation from theater for medical care. Civilians who are deployed from other government agencies outside of the DOD are not entitled to the same treatment.

I can't speak for other people, but I don't like the only thing that ensures I'm treated the same when injured as a military member is a memo.

I want congress to solidify our treatment by law.

I hope you'll sign and pass it along if you agree.

hope youir tdy goes smoothly. Are you planning to leave your TSP Account in its present allocation or will you go 100% G Fund as I did while I was traveling? I still expect a significant drop soon so I remain in the G Fund. I'd rather miss a rally than lose a lot more money. Anyhow good luck with your trip.
