Josh Seery returned from Afghanistan in July 2013, he knew he wasn&#8217;t ready to drive a car on the streets of Wichita, Kansas. So he asked his wife, Jennifer Roth, to be the primary driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I was coming back from my third deployment, but it was the first deployment where I&#8217;d done a lot of driving outside camp,&#8221; Seery said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He knew that readjusting to stateside driving &#8220;would be an issue.&#8221; But even in the passenger seat, there were heated moments when he tried to take control, and questioned his wife&#8217;s driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I said I had gotten along fine before because my GPS doesn&#8217;t yell at me,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seery tried to drive in the city a few times, but traffic agitated him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I was impressed he was aware he was not ready to drive and needed to take time to work on it,&#8221; Roth said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone is so self-aware, which is why USAA developed a simple online assessment tool to help troops think about the risks of unsafe driving behaviors, while offering tips to help them deal with those behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s available to USAA members and their families only; family members can take a separate assessment based on their observations of the service member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, experts note that some troops have a habit of swerving to avoid road debris for fear it masks explosives, or suddenly change lanes when driving under overpasses where attackers could be hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2012 USAA study found a higher risk of at-fault accidents among troops after deployments, and a separate survey said more than one-third of USAA&#8217;s military members were concerned about driving after deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the questions in the new tool is: Since returning home, have you been told you drive dangerously? Family members are very important in this education process, said USAA spokesman Roger Wildermuth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USAA does not use the information from the assessment, or information about a service member&#8217;s deployment status, to determine rates or insurability of any service member, said Roger Wildermuth, the company&#8217;s president. All the assessments are evaluated on a large scale, but details are not associated with individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roth and Seery, who have since taken the assessment, said the tool would have helped in their initial post-deployment adjustment period, when they didn&#8217;t discuss why he didn&#8217;t want to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The tips would&#8217;ve helped me understand what was going on, and why he was being hypersensitive,&#8221; Roth said. &#8220;They would have helped me be calmer even when he was in the passenger seat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The personal stories from service members and spouses included in the tools helped her understand her husband&#8217;s actions, and would have put her more at ease, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;By offering this online assessment, we are arming our returning members with a greater understanding of the risks of coming back to civilian roadways and giving them tips to help avoid those risks,&#8221; said retired Vice Adm. John Bird, senior vice president of USAA Military Affairs, in a statement announcing the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Their safety is so important to us that we&#8217;ll pay them to take it,&#8221; Bird said. USAA will pay $25 to eligible members who take the assessment at usaa.com within six months after returning from deployment, though it still may be taken after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a bonus for doing something that could save your life and the lives of your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/default-militarytimes.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/default-militarytimes.jpg.jpg 640w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/default-militarytimes.jpg.jpg?resize=300,169 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Army Reserve Staff Sgt.
