Hey, you get a government pension, me too. People in glass houses...

The irony is Dad saw what was happening to his Corps 50 years ago, and suggested there were better alternatives for his own kids, and still loved his Corps. Said he wouldn’t change a thing, except, maybe moving further west, but, he had job offers right near the area he grew up in. When he became a reservist in 1969, he picked up a job at the State, that he worked for 21 years. Triple dipper, State, Federal a SSI pensions, should get your blood pressure up just thinking about it. My mom was the real winner, it was easy to find lifers in my Dad’s circle who hadn’t given a minutes thought to the future, who checked out one day, and left momma with nothing. Surviving spouse benefits were a big deal to Dad.

Opportunities are were you find ‘em. The orphan did OK.

Best,
Ted
