    Oh I understand the not wanting to team... Just tossing out another option.

    And oh, you are counting your normal home time as those seven weeks... I misunderstood...

    And I think it's 12 on and 2 off ... So you would have a weekend home every other week.

    Hey guys I'd figure I'd follow this thread. I am a 27 year old Air Force veteran from the Staunton, VA area. I have been talking to MW about Abilene. I have about 15 months experience, but haven't driven since June, 2014. I applied this evening and hoping to hear back from them soon. I have been reading a lot of great things about Abilene! Does anyone know how things will go with me not driving since June, 2014?
    Thanks for any info

    Does Abilene offer vision coverage? The recruiter said it was included in the price of the Health Insurance, but I don't see anything about it in the explanation of benefits he sent me.

    It's probably a separate EOB... Just included in the premium that is paid. I think they offer both vision and dental but please confirm that as I don't currently have the company coverage.

    I just had a similar thing happen with our prescription medicine coverage... Price for a certain cheap medicine went from $7 to $47 dollars ... I called my old pharmacist and he can get it for me paying cash for $12... Since we have a $50 copay, I just opted to bypass the coverage, which use to be cheaper, and just pay cash... I doubt we will be able to do that on all meds... It's such a racket... And I am a Capitalist too... LOL
