I know that far too many civilian contractors in war zones ended up there, whether Iraq or Afghanistan of Libya, without time or adequate planning to put the life insurance they might need in force. I can see myself rushing to get all the t’s crossed and...

Prudential has long been our go to company for those whose weight just wouldn’t garner an approval from any other companies. It wasn’t preferred plus life insurance rates for overweight people, but it was an approval and it was the only place to find one in so...
