[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My H retired and works and says he is retired. If people probe he says yea I have a retirement job to keep me out of trouble. But he is retired.[/quote]

He has a job? Then honey, he is not retired.  I would also think he is a liar if it came out only after probing.[/quote]

He is retired and gets $8000/mth after tax pension plus subsidized healthcare.

He will always Piddle around with some little job.[/quote]

Enlisted/20 years get around $1K a month.  $8K would be fantastic.  Only high level officers get that much.  You clearly don't get the difference from enlisted and officers and 20 vs. 30 years.  You get a pension off your salary which doesn't include the housing and other allowances so its very low.

He doesn't have a little job.  He has a real job that he does very well with.  It wasn't worth staying in the military longer.[/quote]

But then you admit he is not retired since he has a "real job".[/quote]

He is both.  He IS retired from the military and he has a real job.  Most military retirees go on to have a second career.  Military retirement is not enough to actually retire on.  But, he did 20 years, retired per military rules and moved on.  That is retirement.  We have full retirement benefits.  [/quote]
