If I served in the military, am I entitled to receive prescriptions from any military base?

Not that I've heard. You might be through the VA. Are you a Tricare for Life participant? https://iris.custhelp.va.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/26/~/am-i-eligible-for-free-prescriptions%3F

Not true. Even with the VA you must enroll and be seen before you’ll get an Rx. From the VA there may be a cost depending upon your income and any service connected disability.

Yes, if you have TRICARE, and if they have a pharmacy.

You are not unless you have Tri Care orbits equivelant. If you have disability from the VA you can use their Pharmacy. Thank you for your service.
