Draft And benifits (non political)
This is a very odd and screwball question I really hope that someone can answer for me,
way back my dad was Drafted, he served that term of service ( I dont know if he re-upped) and then went into the Army reserve (no lapse in his service to the army) right after and stayed with them for 20+ years and attained a rank of Master sergeant. He died in 1992, and we were told he had no life insurance.. but the people I have talked with said his life insurance was automatic from the day that he was drafted and should have carried on when he was in the reserve. we were told that his benefits would start on the day of his 65th birthday (retirement Px stuff medical insurance etc) a few months after that we called to see about the status of all this and they then said it should have been started on the day of my mothers 65th birthday some years before that. Well, we fought like hell and finally got his retirement benefit but the rest remains an enigma. Was he supposed to have life insurance and who would we even talk to, to find out this information. We've called a couple state senators to no avail, they either ignore is, dont answer the phone or just never bother to look into this issue, so I am hoping that someone here can help out some since we're basicly lost on this whole situation.
