Do active duty service members have the right to political protest?

Service members have the right to attend political protests, however, in doing so they are restricted to attending as a person as opposed to a representative for the force under which they serve.
For example, it's fine for an Army service member to attend a political rally, so long as he/she is not dressed to represent the Army. If a service member dresses in a way that purposefully makes the person seem like a representative of their armed force, (IE; that the Army as a whole supports the political movement) then disciplinary action may be taken.
You can read more about service members' rights to political activities on the Department of Defense's page at the link below: Political Activities by Service Members of the Armed Forces, Feb. 19, 2008.

What health care plan do active duty military members have?
For the most part active duty service members have military medical care in military facilities. Under certain circumstances the military pays civilian medical facilities to provide care to active duty service members. The families of active duty military personnel have a health care plan called TRICARE Prime which is similar to an HMO. Active duty service members and their dependents do not pay premiums for health care or prescription medications. Retired service members and their dependents also have military medical care and TRICARE available to them, but must pay premiums for TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Standard, which is a cost sharing plan, is also available to retired service members and their dependents. Once service members and their spouses turn 65 years of age and are covered by Medicare, TRICARE for Life acts as supplemental insurance for Medicare. Premiums for Medicare, Part B now vary by income.

What is Total active federal military service?
it is a date represented in YYMMDD format that represents how much active duty service time you have. For Active Duty members it is usually the date of their enlistment. For Guard/Reserve members it changes and you subtract the total number of ADT days (not including drill weekend or PT days as those are IDT) from today's date and that will give you the TAFMSD. This is a tricky equation and takes practice.
