Open Question: Could Gen X and Gen Y greatest contribution to society be to actually balance the budget, not just projectedly?
(Sat, 19 May 2012 21:50:31 GMT)
To collectively plan on not using Social Security and Medicare as their only retirement plan and only as a back up?
To collectively say thanks, but no thanks to more government spending on social programs and "gimmees"?
To shrink the size of the military industrial complex and limit our involvement in worldwide wars?
Projected surplus. We were still increasing the debt. I mean actually DECREASING the debt.

The things that attract me to the military are the high level of training, the 100% effort and team mentality, and the opportunity to experience things most people will never get to experience. I also like that the military puts a huge emphasis on physical fitness and sports.

Resolved Question: Concurrent Receipt? (Military Disability)?
(Thu, 03 May 2012 14:04:21 GMT)
I was medically retired from the Air Force last year. I was rated 90% by the VA and 30% by the Air Force.
I did receive my first retirement check but after VA kicked in I haven't received a check yet. My understanding is that concurrent receipt takes effect at 50% disability. But does that go by PEB/MEB rating or by VA rating.
At the time I was being discharged I was told I'd be receiving both checks. Does anyone know if I should be?
