are there any military vets on board? if so, do you use v.a. health benefits? i understand there is no v.a. offices in the v.i. i also understand that for any major problem you would have to go to p.r. or the mainland. but, what about normal health care like doctor visits and minor injuries and prescription drugs. if it makes a difference i'll be moving to stx.
thanks
