im not going to fault anyone for retiring at 50, i plan on being retired by 42-44, giving me 22ish years in the army, and will be drawing my retirement pay right away. I will be getting about $9000 a month, but that is with social security and 100% disability pay (which is a good portion of my retirement pay). say what you will, but given i will be 100% disabled due to my service i deffinately earned that pay lol.

If it were just police and fire... I would tend to agree. It's not. It's rampant in every federal and state agency. From USDA to DMV to EPA... and everything in between. None of those put their lives on the line the way you do. Meanwhile... our soldiers receive a pittance.

i know many people retiring from the army as an e-7 who get about 3k a month, its really bad on the enlisted side.
