I retired from the Navy 11 years ago, I now work for the DOD doing what I did in the Navy. I actually enjoy what I do. 31 years of the same job and I will retire from it in 9 years so that will give me 40 years. I am an Air Traffic Controller. With my retirement I will make over 100K this year. some people say money isn't everything, but I say it is probably the most important thing in life other than family. A 20 year military retirement is not enough to live on. When I retired I wanted to have at least the same life style as I did in the military. Mine is better. When i retire from this, I want my life style to remain the same. It will probably be better. At this point in time, you don't need a job. you need another career with benefits os some kind. Not so much as medicla but a retirement. You don't want to retire again and worry about what you will do for your well being.
