My kids are 22, 19, and 16. They all got their licenses as soon as they could, and when they had permits, I made them drive everywhere. But my youngest, her friends are 17 (she has a late birthday) and none of them have licenses. The parents won't let them get them, or the kids have no interest. Even my older kids' friends were 18+ when they got theirs, and my oldest has friends who still don't have one.

I remember in highschool what a big deal it was to get your driver's license. The day you took your driver's test was an excused day off at my school.

We're moving to Germany next month for my job. I'll be on a military base, but because I'm a civilian I can't use the military medical facilities.

I currently get my prescriptions through the VA, but they won't be able to mail meds overseas. I need to find a local doctor, but I wanted to get a feel for how German docs treat symptoms and med management. Thanks!

I know they can't be shipped. Are there other work arounds? Like can the prescription be called into the local MTF, or can I get a paper prescription and do it that way?

I have one doc that I see via teleheath and just need labs every 6 months. The meds aren't life and death but pretty important to me for my quality of life.

I know I have to establish care on the economy and go thru insurance, but it took me forever to get a VA doc to work with me on my issue and I really don't want to have to be without meds if I have to fight for care again.

This is specific to woman's health (not birth control) if that helps narrow it down without getting too specific.

We are moving to Germany in June for 3-5 years. I have 3 lines currently with T-Mobile that I need to stay active. Not just for 2FA, also don't want to lose our numbers. I talked to T-Mobile today and they said I can either do a military suspension (which defeats the "keep it active" part), or else they'll cancel the account if it's not used in the US every 9 months or so, even if I'm actively using the lines.

VOIP doesn't seem to be an option as banks won't send 2FA to those, so Tello is what keeps coming up when I search for options.

How do I do this? I'm not tech savvy. My phone and my husband's phone support eSIM, not sure about my daughter, she has an older model (we'll get her one that does if needed). They're all bought from the manufacturer, unlocked, not tied to a carrier.

When is the best time to get it all set up and cancel T-Mobile? I know I have to be stateside to make the switch. What would be the best plan for this? Would you recommend data?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just anxious. I appreciate any help!
