It is true that as servants of the country in the military we have many benefits, but I have always felt that we need more benefits when we are retired. Any opinions?

Retiring now, there are plenty of benefits out there for us. Honestly they just need to pay us a salary that's not so embarrassing and we could take care of ourselves.

Agreed! I shared with my family how much I made and everyone was extremely shocked. I barely make enough to provide for myself and my daughter and I live in Texas where the COL is pretty low

Yes we have many benefits, you just need to be aware of them.

This is a good point. I talk about how the military doesn't let the recruits know enough about the benefits they have often.

Military benefits are amazing and it has always been. I started to compare the benefits that we receive from other professions out there and I can say we are given what we deserve.

We already have benefits. A lot, actually.

I think the retired ones have a lot of benefits too. Too many, actually. Maybe some of them are not aware?
