For military retirees:

With respect to medical evacuation, I received this message from Tricare for Life (English majors disregard the faulty reference):

"As a retiree living in the US Virgin Island aero medical evacuation services are not covered under Tricare for Life."

A general description of Tricare for Life is at the following site:
