You are right. The average retiree is an 40 year old E-6 with 2-3 school age children trying to re-enter the job market in a lousy economy. Many of them were in Combat Arms MOS’s in the Army and the Marines. They made up the backbone of those services but have a hard time transferring their skills to the civilian workforce. They need every break they can get.
well there is a big problem right there....

I remind you all, that when I go on the local base, I still see a few bamey car stickers...
its unfathomable....
