In today's episode we hear from MBRNPC Board Member Samantha C. Arrington Sliney, Esq, who transitioned off of Active Duty after 10 years of service and now serves in the Air National Guard. Samantha's legislative advocacy work was born through the Air Force's Women's Initiatives Team where she currently serves as Co-Chair. Samantha provides several key updates on where things stand with two legislative advocacy focuses for MBRNPC: first we discuss the breastmilk transport entitlement that's seen some recent changes in the JTR; second we discuss a provision currently under consideration through the 2025 NDAA that would allow pregnancy to become a Qualifying Life Event in TRICARE, which would dramatically improve birth choice options for both service members and dependents.
Tune in to learn more about these important issues for military families and learn how you can help move the needle.
