@texasgungal I'm retired but not "military retired". I only did 5 years but...
No real such thing as vision and dental insurance. It's more of a discount plan. You're at an age where you know if you have dental issues. I self pay dental. Even with 2x cleaning annually and a cracked tooth ($800) I'm way way ahead vs paying for a dental discount plan. If you're set with paying for dental, I suggest you look at the Max annual they will pay cause it's not near as high as you think.
I have a VA rating and vision is covered. Wife is self pay and again, way way ahead vs a vision plan. 1 visit a year and we just buy her glasses online.
Just call local dentists and ask what their cash price is for a typical cleaning/xray. Same with vision.
Term insurance only. Anything else is a bad financial move.
Look at a massive term life instead of SBP. Price a SPIA to replace the loss of the pension when you die and talk it over with your spouse to decide which way to go.
In the least, get a term to buy a SPIA to replace the amount of your future VA rating. Unless you die from the rating that money 100% disappears and your spouse loses it. That's what I did, bought a term policy in an amount that a SPIA would replace it.
