So how many government funded pensions will you end up with?

Maybe you should ask how many war zones he’s been deployed to or how many days each year he spent away from his family EARNING that government pension by placing his life in Uncle Sam’s hands!
Even as a civilian with DoD my husband has been sent to extremely hostile environments in which the knowledge you were risking loss of life or limb was considered just part of the job, to say nothing of when he was active duty.
Is that part of your routine day?
FRANKLY, This is NONE of YOUR Damn Business!
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.
What a putz. Another of those who loves to bash a federal employee huh?
Every one that he has or will earn and every one to which he has contributed! Do you realize that if you have a government pension and you have fully contributed to Social Security in other employment, your Soc. Sec. is reduced? Some people are willing to get off their tails and “EARN” pensions from several sources!
