You can still keep your ako account after you go through the MEB process and leave the Army. There is a "medically discharged" account type to which you can switch. If you are not retired, or are not a dependant, or an Army Civilian, ako only allows an additional 3 months of access. Switching away from ako is pretty simple, though forwarding an entire inbox, contact list, and other information can be tedious. Lots of "freemail" out on the Internet now -- hotmail, yahoo, gmail, and I'm sure others as well. Each is a little different and while less secure than ako they are all a little more user-friendly.

Traumatic Injury Protection (TSGLI) Under the Service Members' Group Life Insurance Program
Effective 1 December 2005, service members who are insured under SGLI and suffer from a traumatic injury are eligible to receive monetary compensation for a total amount not less than $25, 000 an not greater than $100,000.
Any questions regarding this process can be sent to OSGLI at osgli.claims@prudential.com or call toll free 1-800-419-1473.
I haven't looked very deeply into this process, but the form seems simple enough. Forms must be completed by Service Member, Physician, and Branch or Service.
Definitely worth looking into. The extra expenses families take on when any member is injured can be a serious burden - fortunately this is a way that can help, at least a little.
