FALLS CHURCH, Va.  –  
No matter where you live, it’s important for your electronic health record (EHR) to be complete and up to date. For TRICARE Prime Overseas and TRICARE Prime Remote Overseas beneficiaries, there are processes that help make this possible.

If you get care at a military hospital or clinic, that facility uploads your medical records to your EHR. But when you get care from civilian network providers, you need to consent to the release and collection of your health records.

      US Navy Provides Preliminary Results to Residents Living Near Former NWIRP Calverton who had Drinking Water Wells Sampled

      CALVERTON, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES 04.01.2025 From Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs CALVERTON, NY – The U.S. Navy shared preliminary drinking water well sample results to residents and property owners near the Former Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant (NWIRP) Calverton who consented to having their drinking water sampled and tested for certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS. To raise awareness about the water sampling initiative, the Navy conducted extensive community outreach efforts, culminating in an Open House event on January 22. During the event, residents received updates on the ongoing PFAS investigation and the residential drinking water sampling program. Outreach activities included publishing updates in local newspapers and various publications, distributing informational materials through public libraries, and sharing notices via the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) environmental news bulletin. Additionally, letters and postcards were mailed directly to homeowners. Environmental contractors began on-site sampling of private drinking water wells on January 23. As of now, nearly all drinking water well sample results have been below the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for PFAS. The sole exception was a well sampled in 2019, which showed slightly elevated PFAS levels above the EPA MCL. The resident associated with this well opted to decline re-sampling at this time. “Although these preliminary results are encouraging, we will carry out a comprehensive quality control review of all collected data and will consult with NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) before final results are released to the public,” said Addison Phoenix, the Navy’s project manager for the site. “The Navy remains dedicated to safeguarding the health and well-being of its neighbors and will continue investigating emerging chemicals in and around Former NWIRP Calverton, as necessary.” If you own property within the Navy’s designated sampling area and haven’t yet had your drinking water well sampled, please call (800) 906-9339 to request and schedule a sampling appointment. (Note: If your drinking water is supplied by the Riverhead Water District, sampling is not required. The Navy is currently offering sampling for drinking water wells in both the original and expanded sampling areas). For more information or questions, email the NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs Office at NAVFAC_ML_PAO@navy.mil, or visit the Former NWIRP Calverton website at: http://www.navfac.navy.mil/calvertonpfas

      Trump’s pick to lead military denies saying he’d ‘kill’ for Trump

      President Trump claimed that his pick to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Lt. Gen. John Dan "Razin" Caine, wore a MAGA hat and said he'd kill for Trump when they met. However during his confirmation hearing, Caine told Senators that he never wore political merchandise or said he'd kill for Trump. Caine believes Trump mistook him for someone else.
