Retirement Plan

20 years will get you 50% of the average of your 3 highest paid years, for life!! oh, that also includes health insurance for you and your family (low flat annual payment), no co-pays no other deductibles, for life!

It is the reason so many give so much. The young enter and give their all...their bodies, mind, and spirit...to the job knowing that even though they will be physically broken at the end of a 20+ year career, they will have a pension at the end. It is the number one reason why so many make it a career. Love for country and job will only keep people volunteering for back to back deployments, combat operations, and separations for so long.

Defined benefit pension that starts immediately.

best is that it's a pension.

The US Army has one of the best retirement plans available.

wish the amount was more but I guess its OK.

There is a retirement plan in addition to a pension. If a member uses both, he or she can comfortably retire after 20 years of service.

Incredible pension plan, 20 years of service = 1/2 of highest base pay plus benefits, GI Bill pays for advance civil schooling - can be transferred to immediate family members.

serve 20 years and then you get paid just for breathing
