Military Kids

You belong to us, too, baby.

We are preparing them for the real world, and they’ll be better for it.

The Exchange celebrates Purple Up Day as part of Month of the Military Child, offering kids lots of free treats.

"A national effort is required to help reduce the stigma and social isolation experienced by caregivers' children."

About 2,500 military and retiree dependents have sought care since 2009 out of 1.7 million eligible children and adolescents.

For the first time ever, Tricare is covering the purchase of human breast milk from an accredited milk bank.

A new bill would give troops with infertility related to their service greater access to advanced reproductive treatments.

In one case, the Pentagon paid as much as $1,400 for a breast pump that could be purchased in a store for less than $200.

Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Russell Smith said Navy Installations Command is working to expand child care choices.

The cost of having a baby will likely not change in 2018 for most active-duty Tricare Standard and Guard and Reserve users.
