If he is a 30 year veteran then he has a pension. Where is that money going and what is it used for???

Here's the real story:

He receives an annual pension from the military of more than $40,000.

His struggle to find a job after retiring from the Air Force collided with the end of his marriage nearly two years ago. Unable to return to the home he shared with his estranged wife, and faced with expenses including bills for two sons in college and debts that mounted when he maintained a nicer lifestyle, he took up a nomadic existence.

His real issue is that he got taken to the cleaners in his divorce, and his money goes to keep his two kids in expensive private schools.

It's got little to do with the military, and much to do with the divorce industry.

I gotcha. It's no wonder why women love men in uniform -- they can always win the alimony battle.

That, and paying for private mlitary school for his son while attempting to live on 50% of what's left of his retirement income in a high cost of living area.

Perhaps it's time he told his kids, "if you want to finish college, you're going to have to join the military!"
