New positon, new start.

I have been in 19 years 7 months. You can retire at 20 with liftime health coverage and 50% of you base pay as a retirement. If you qualify for more than 50% disability from the VA you will get paid for that as well. At my current rank I can stay until 24 years of active service. I will probably stick around until then. Its a job and a paycheck, thats hard to come by now.

They won't give you full retirement and full disability, even if you are over 80%. 90% still means about $2k per month though. 100% is a bit of a jump. If you can work, they will try hard not to give you more than your retirement would be on its own.

When you get out let me know, I can give some insight about the VA and disability.

That one was 3743 when I was there in the 80s. Mine was 3703, right next the the back gate. Was yours near the shopette and bowling alley, or by the theater?

if I remeber right it was closest to nothing, the PT pad was jsut next to it and then there was a fence, a street and then a long row of billiting, the main road was just behind it...probably closer to the Shopette than anything esle...I want to say it was the 361st BMTS but I would have to look at my book at the house to be sure.
