A 30 career soldier, retired at the rank of colonel, has a military pension. Estimated at approx $60K per year. What is missing from this story?

Sounds like there’s some medical issues involved, too.

My guess is a very bitter, bitter woman that is very highly pissed off and full of revenge.

This story stinks of something not told. 30 yr career + degrees makes you a heck of a lot more than $60K per year, even after the gov’t takes 50% or more if there is a state income tax.

Hubby went in in 1958, retired 20 yrs later as a SCPO, taught electronics and worked the flight deck, now they did not pay as well as they do now. He gets $17K pension plus Tricare Life, along with SS and Medicare. That over qualifies him for VA care.

It is possible that he is divorced and his ex gets half of his pension.
