"..you probably could have really retired when you left active service and not needed another job.

So true - but that presupposes that I had enough brains to do that. I was the idiot with the Corvette.

HA! I think we were in the same unit.

It always amazed me that the Army is fine with talking about warts, drips, sores, and other genital issues, complete with color photo close ups, but is scared to talk financial literacy with Soldiers. Pay yourself first, bank half of every pay raise, the power of compound interest, the perils of debt etc. are not hard concepts. Saddest thing in the world is watching a Soldier retire broke.
