To All Concerned...
I wish him all the luck in the world.. I retired in 1975 as a Platoon SGT (E7) and so far have beaten the actuary tables.. I am now working on 39 years of miniscule retired pay for serving my country through 2 wars and also in Germany during the tense Cold War, I was in 7th Corps (LRRP) Jayhawks which was disbanded and became the 75th Rangers. We Retired Vets earned and deserve our Retirement pay.By the way, I am 80 years old and hope to draw at least another 10 years of it.
Airborne All The Way
Retired from the military at the age of 42, good for you! So why didn't you ever pursue employment in the private sector? I'd have gone nuts just sitting around doing nothing.........
