I'm having a hard time figuring out who needs to fill out what for the forms necessary for command sponsorship. Please Help!
I am newly married. My husband is PCS in Germany. I live in Houston, TX. I don't live anywhere near a military base, the nearest one of approx 250 miles away (3h 30min drive). I am registered in Deers and have my military ID.
He is trying to file for Command Sponsorship for me to go over there with him.
The requirement I'm confused about is complete: AF Form 1466, Medical Clearance (Schedule appt with Special Needs)
Page 1 says authorize ____________________(MTF/DTF) to release my patient information.
Problem - I don't have a MTF or a DTF, I've never been to a military treatment facility nor is there even on in reasonable distance. What do I do?!
Also how do I make an appointment for a screening if I don't live anywhere near a base?
I tried to get my family doctor to complete the form but he insists that he cannot because he is not an MTF. on page 3 of the form section VI - Medical Provider Evaluation he said he cannot complete it because where it says type/print name and grade of medical provider since he is not affiliated to the military he does not have a grade does that mean he does not qualify?
Please help me figure out how to complete these forms. Where I'm supported to get a medical evaluation for command sponsorship from?

Sorry, but I think you're going to have a bit of trouble with this.
First, you can get a civilian provider to sign. Even a non-American. Trust me, as I know from experience. I got one of mine done in a Korean hospital.
However, the records review is going to be tricky. I also didn't have records with my first overseas review, so they made me make an appt to create a record. It was silly. Go ahead and sign the release form, but be aware they might make you get them other records from your current doc. I don't know if they'd make you go to MTF to create an internal record, but I think it's in the realm of possibility.
On thing to know about the military in general, though, is that sometimes it helps to keep asking questions until you get the answer you want It's amazing how many different answers you can get to the same question.
