Just for your information, a military pension is an earned pension for services rendered as a military member over a specified period of time.
You don’t know if US Navy Vet is retired from the military or served for 8-10 years and then went to work for the government without a military pension or is retired and now working under contract as a government employee or as a contractor to Stratcom.
If retired and veterans with the experience and clearances were not hired in those government billets then someone new, without the experience, requiring expensive 100K plus clearances and years of training to get up to speed would have to be hired. We get more for our money by hiring military retirees than hiring new in most cases.
Military service to retirement is not guaranteed and retirement and benefits are not guaranteed even though the government has contractual agreements based on those in force at enlistment and reenlistment. It is a separate form of government service and the earned pension has no bearing on contractual employment as a civilian.
A military pension, when you are an E6-E9 or O4-O5 and force retired at 20 years is not going to support your family. It is usually a necessity to find employment on retirement and employment as a civilian government employee is no different, and separate from the military pension.
You think you’ve got it straight?
Enough of the double-dipping crap that has been going on for years.
Thank you.
THANK YOU,SALUTE
Yes we do, he states it on his home page and that he went home to Iowa to retire. Good for him that he presumably found himself a new job at the AFB in Nebraska..
Does that new job as a presumed contractor include a pension? It's certainly a legitimate question and whether or not he wishes to answer it is up to him.........There's no need for him to be obnoxious about it tho unless it struck a nerve......
