Stop in for a cup of coffee

I'll get a pension when I'm 60. That's about it. Worth about 650 bucks a month before taxes at current dollar amounts. If they medically retire me, I get to keep tricare eligibility for life. Otherwise, that's it. I guess there's some VA stuff, maybe. From what I've been told, it’s really really hard for the VA to give benefits to Guardsmen even if the law allows it.
For what you give that’s just not enough, in my opinion.

Our Service Manager is in the Minnesota National Guard (yes, he’s in Mpls right now), and he’s about the same age as you. Says TriCare is great, but with the way his body is all beat-up he wants to get out as well now.
