You get it as soon as you retire and it increases every year. It's a really good gig if you like being in the military and all that comes with especially if you can climb the ranks. Also, it goes up 2.5% for each year over 20 so if you can do 40 years you'll end up with (near because of high 36) 100% of your base pay. Mind you almost nobody does 40 years and those that do are the Sergeants Major, Generals, and Chief Warrant Officers and even then it's iffy
If he joined 40 years ago then he should get half the final pay rather than high 36 Just to throw some numbers out there, if Gfted1 retired today as an E-6 after 20 he would be looking at about $1,862 a month which is great as extra money but probably not enough to live on alone
You'd need another job unless you lived very, very cheaply Would you like to know more?
Did the Career Jammer give you the works to try to keep you in? Yeah, at first anyway At the time they were giving out huge bonuses and other perks but I was done and since a lot of people in my unit were afraid of their prospects after getting out they stopped chasing me. They could probably also tell they were barking up the wrong tree or at least I'd like to give them that much credit I'm glad that I did it and I miss some aspects of it but I'd never want to go back to it. Especially since I vastly preferred deployment to garrison life.
Well, most of my unit went back to the states after 6 months or so in the first deployment but along with a few others I volunteered to stay the whole year of 2005 (plus or minus a few months). The second deployment was in 2007 and it was a mandatory year for everyone but it was also a much easier time. I came back in Jan-Feb of 08 and got out in December
I think the theory was that all the walking bushes would confuse the enemy
Just for embarassment here is a picture of me during my first tour of Iraq in 05 The Commandant was in the area for a photo op so they gathered everyone up for group pictures
I was in maybe 4th grade at the time, sorry I do feel old but that probably doesn't help
In other casting news Ian McShane is poised to play Mr Wednesday in American Gods. I haven't read it but does the character say ****sucker at all in the book?
