A lot of ppl disagree with me but I think most benefits are good/ more than the average person gets - healthcare, college, disability. Etc . For me it’s the network of people and resources I know.

I agree with you as well. I think we do get a lot. And we get so many discounts at stores, hotels, etc....

I agree with SEA - the benefits are pretty great and the people are world-class.

Honestly aside from healthcare after transitioning my biggest “find” was American forces travel- if you travel all inclusive it’s the way to go and you save money!
