[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh I don’t know.  Many years ago I worked for a news org and we hired former military as techs - they were making probably 40,000 in pensions a year as former NCOs.  So they felt fine taking base salaries in the 80s - when most wanted base near 100,000.  I would think this would work out similarly.  Not saving a ton for Florida - but something.[/quote]

Most military retirees would see their "second career" as a way to get ahead/make more money to make up for the sacrifices they made during the 20+ years of service.   Not a way to "break even" with all the people just starting out and a couple decades younger than them.    If your news org found a way to save money by taking advantage of former military, well....I guess that says terrible things about you/your "org."[/quote]

Why?  They agreed to the salary they were offered.  That’s classic DC liberal speak: taking advantage of former military.  These dudes were making tons of cash in overtime which likely factored into their decision and we’re incredibly competitive. Sorry to tell you there are no victims here.  Also these were not folks starting out.  They were taking gigs that were mid career at the time at those salaries.  [/quote]
