Stop in for a cup of coffee

They send me a bonus check every month...called a retirement check and Tricare for Life it's not bad. I did 33 years for the job I enjoyed, my community and country, the needed money to raise a family and pay the bills, and the health insurance it provided. You can do your 27 months.
Oh I have for the most part enjoyed the last 20 years for sure. Yeah there’s been times I’ve hated it but I still had fun. It’s not a question of to do the 27 months. That’s happening regardless. It’s do I keep going? even though the financial aspects outside of tricare and it’s cheap premium, are few. The odds of promotion are slim at this point. And staying only gains me a few points for retirement.

Honestly, from the financial side, a lot will be determined by what the VA decides on my claim.

Course if the bill before Congress actually passes, where they’re trying to make it where you get your pension AND VA compensation at the same time, not one or the other, that would change things.
