[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Running joke in military circles actually. Many, many have cars above means. [/quote]

Also, veterans get preferences for fed jobs. So what they typically do is get a fed job after leaving the military. Once their clearance is processed and they start their new job, they will talk to other vets who are collecting 40k/yr in disability. And they will inevitably apply for disability due to their "PTSD" despite never having seen a second of actual combat.[/quote]

It’s very hard to get disability pay except if you caught in war and if they did they deserve it.  It’s not easy getting a fed job and most don’t have the kind of clearance needed.

My spouses military pension is less than $1k a month.  Officers do well.  [/quote]

It actually is very easy to get a federal job if you're a veteran, just ask anyone who works in fed HR. And you don't need a clearance either, as the clearance/background investigation is part of the hiring process.

The scam is that you get the job with the TS clearance first, and then you claim disability benefits through the military. And no, you don't have to be engaged in combat operations. I've seen this play out over a dozen times with co-workers, so yes, it happens alot.[/quote]
