Bill,
I'm not exactly sure... Tricare's (the Military healthcare system) website says that there is an MTF (Military Treatment Facility) at Dix/McGuire AFB, but when I called them up they said they aren't an MTF... so I'm not exactly sure. If McGuire is in fact an MTF, then the impact won't be so bad, because I can just shift from Monmouth to Dix (I go to Dix anyway for groceries).
Aside from Dix supposedly being an MTF... the only other one closer to me is on Staten Island.. which means I pay the $7 (or is it $8 now?) bridge toll just to get there. Grr.
All I know is that there is a HUGE uproar in the military(active and retired) community in NJ already... I've been getting phone calls all morning from military friends and whatnot with their bitching and ranting (just like I'm doing lol).
