Is the military retirement pay system being scrapped? I recently came across an article about the military changing the retired pay system. In essence they will put it more in line with the guard and reserves pay system. This means retired pay will begin anywhere from 57 to 62 years of age depending on how long you serve. I certainly hope this will not affect currently retired members because I depend on my retirement to live. How can they do something so disastrous to members of the military? I'm only 53 years old.

When do you begin receiving checks for military retirement?

What is the difference between total career points and retirement points in the military? I spent 3 years, 9 months and 10 days on active duty (was released 3 months early for graduate school) That gives me on my retirement printout 1371 retirement points. Then, I joined the guard and received another 164. Total retirement points 1535 for a total 5 "good" years. However, I also did some correspndence corses which I was told to turn in to the retirement person which shows up on my printout as "ACCP Misc Points" and is added to the "Total Career Points" column--NOT the "Total Points for Retirement Pay" column. Question--what is the difference between "career points" and "retirement points?" If career points are not calculted for retirement pay, what are they good for? To the one responder so far--I am sure you know what you are talking about--however, I have no idea what "non-retirement bond" means.

Military Retirement Changes, would this stop you from joining? The current military retirement system is such: -Be in the military for 20 years and you can retire. You get 50% of the pay you earned while you were still in the military. So if you join when your 18 years old you can retire when you are 38, plenty young to get another job. If you are enlisted you should be getting a retirement check, on average, $of 1,700. That’s plenty of money to retire on. DOD wants to change all that. They want to make it so you don’t get a retirement check until you turn 60 years old! So if you retire at 38 that’s 22 years with no income from the military. -More detailed description if current retirement system: http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/gene... -I joined for the education and retirement benefits. If I knew that I would not be able to collect retirement till I was 60, I would not have joined. Will this suggested change discourage people from joining? Is this change a bad idea?

Former spouses and military retirement pay........? Opinions please...What do you think of this BS law and why? *My opinion: This law is the biggest bunch of bulls**t I've ever heard of! I don't care what a soldier or marine or whatever has done, nothing justifies taking half of their retirement pay! WE are the ones that fought the wars. WE are the ones that go to the field problems. WE are the ones that work endless hours. WE are the ones that have to put up with all the BS that comes with being in the military. WE are the ones that have to abide by not ONE, but TWO justice systems. WE are the ones getting put through all this, and no matter what happens between a husband and wife, I think someone's hard-earned retirement should have NOTHING to do with it!!!! When a civilian wife gets beat by her civilian husband or when a civilian wife leaves her civilian husband for his best friend, they're not entitled to half of their social security, so why should the military be any different? I'm active duty army, and so is my husband by the way. No matter what he did for us to get divorced, I would never touched the retirement he's bled for, and cried for, and lost friends for, and worked so hard for. Our marriage has nothing to do with the fine service he's done for his country. Same goes the other way, too. Andrea, as a soldier, I also suffer through being separated from my family and living on low income, and moving constantly. Difference is, when we're going through all this stuff, we're also trying to keep out butts alive, and we can't fly out to our mom's house or our sisters house to get some comfort. We can't lie in bed all day crying because it's so hard. We still have a job to do, and no matter how hard it is for us, how long we work for (i.e. my 16 hour days from 6pm to 10am in Iraq right now) for very little pay, we still go through all those same emotions, with one big difference, being that we are in a warzone. I don't doubt the mlitary wife role is hard, I'm just saying that it shouldn't be a reason to take the retirement WE worked so hard for. What if its the other way around? What if the soldier is the victim, i.e. the soldier deploys, the spouse cheats, the wife (who chose to never work a day in her life) is out and about getting drunk, leaves the kids at home alone overnight, kids play with matches, house burns down, soldier comes home to a burnt down house, kid injured from house fire because she was too busy getting laid somewhere, b***h spent all the money on her boyfriends and partying. He divorces her, she gets 30% of his retirement.....Is that fair??? Just FYI, I AM married to a military member as well. I am his support, even though I'm also here, I can't physically send him care packages, so I order them online for him. I email him every chance I get. I, too, have to go through my nights by myself, hoping he's ok. I, too, had to watch the kids by myself, when he had to go to the field. I take care of paying the bills, we split the house chores, and we both go to school, so yes, I know what it's like to be a military spouse as well, and it doesn't compare to the service members side of it. He outranks me so I have to follow him, same as a civilian wife following her military husband.
To clarify my last question...is military retirement pay immune from civil judgment? A sailor with only 6 weeks left before retiring from a 20 year tour of duty admitted in open court that he had "borrowed" $110,000.00 from his grandmother without her knowledge. Criminal charges were not pursued because grandma, despite his theft from her, loved her grandson and didn't want to hurt him. The Court then issued a civil judgment against him and he promised to start repaying her from his military retirement pay just as soon as he retired. He's never repaid a cent and the VA tells me his retirement pay is untouchable but cannot, or will not, tell me any law that makes it so. Thanks to all of you who answered my first question but none, really answered it....what LAW makes all of this so??
Can he stop his ex from getting his military retirement? When my husband divorced his ex-wife, she was awarded 27% of his military retirement. He said his lawyer at the time told him that he had to give it to her or she would get more than that. If they end up back in court over child support, etc...he is planning on trying to get it changed where she is not entitled to any of his retirement. Is there any way that he has a chance of being successful and keeping her from getting any? What are his options? Does he have any? He has worked way to hard at his military career and she is the one who cheated on him when they were married and wanted the divorce. Do you think he can get this changed? This has nothing to do with child support. This is separate. She was lazy and never helped him with the house or the kids and didn't have a job either. Then when he was away, she cheats, wants out and a friend of hers told her she could get part of his retirement in the divorce, so she tried...she was asking for 50% but ended up with %27.
military retirement pay and inflation? Every year congress approves pay raises for the military (usually around 3.5%) to stay in balance with inflation. Does retirement pay stay on par with this? For example, if i was to retire tomorrow after serving 20 years active duty and retire as an E-8, would my 50% retirement pay entitlement stay on par with the CURRENT year's base pay of an E-8 with 20 years in? Like when 2009 or 2010 rolled around, would i still be receiving 50% base pay for that current year's income of an E-8 with 20 years in? Or does it get stuck, and that 50% pay is based off the year you retired in and doesn't increase with inflation? you can receive COLA with retirement pay? that's something i didn't know
If I get chapterd from the military for not having a primary care plan, can I still get my retirement? I'm a single parent and have 2 children living with me who do not have a relationship with they're mother. I do not have anyone to list as a primary care plan in the event I deploy. My unit is considering chaptering me out because of this. My retirement package has already been approved and I am due to retire in 9 months. Can I still retire and collect my retirement pay as well as receive an honorable discharge?
Former spouses and military retirement pay.......? Opinions please...What do you think of this BS law and why? *My opinion: This law is the biggest bunch of bulls**t I've ever heard of! I don't care what a soldier or marine or whatever has done, nothing justifies taking half of their retirement pay! WE are the ones that fought the wars. WE are the ones that go to the field problems. WE are the ones that work endless hours. WE are the ones that have to put up with all the BS that comes with being in the military. WE are the ones that have to abide by not ONE, but TWO justice systems.

When a civilian wife gets beat by her civilian husband or when a civilian wife leaves her civilian husband for his best friend, they're not entitled to half of their social security, so why should the military be any different? I'm active duty army and so is my husband. We're both currently deployed to Iraq. If he were to do something to make me divorce him like hit me or cheat on me, I still would not try to take his retirement, because no matter what he would've done to our marriage, that has nothing to do with his loyal and fine service to this country. Desert Storm, and twice to OIF. I think the man deserves all that hes bled for, he's cried for, he's lost friends for, and worked so hard for. I wouldn't dare touch that, it has nothing to do with our marriage. Same goes the other way around, too. For the record, all these emotions spouses feel when we're gone, we feel them too, with one major difference. We feel them in a warzone. We can't jump in the car and drive to moms house for comfort, we can't lay in bed all day hugging our pillow wishing our loved one was with us, we can't mope around. We have a job to do, and we learn to put all those emotions aside, we're not robots it's just something you learn. Military spouses are given every opportunity to go to college. There's the education center, you can use your spouses G.I. bill.......and what about all the benefits you got FOR FREE simply because you were married to him??? Does that not count for anything? Or what about when the civilian husband who always beats his wife all of a sudden leaves his wife who's in the mlitary to raise the kids by herself, and the civilian husband gets half of her retirement pay? Is that fair?

do you think military retirement pay is unfair? see optional details...? Regular military personnel get their pay begining the month after they retire. Reserves however; must wait until they reach age 60 and 1/2. I think its unfair since its the reserves doing most of the fighting and dying in most wars and engagements we have on foriegn soil.

Military, Divorce and Retirement? I am a former military spouse. I married him 2 months before he went into service. We were married exactly 18 yrs 1 month and 1 day. The divorce was in January of 2003. I had no money to pay for a lawyer, he cheated on me with his former High School sweatheart and wanted to be rid of me so he could marry her. The lawyer he hired tried to talk fast thru the retirement portion , but I catch on quick and told him, I was entititled to 1/2 of my husbands pension. I did not sign anything until this was amended. Now the problem is. My Ex retired July 1st 2006, I knew it was coming so back in January I filed all the nessesary paperwork with DFAS. They denied me! Because the Divorce decree reads Quote" The respondent is entitled to half of the martial portion of the Petitioners pension." They say this is not good enough, it has to say a certain percentage like 50%. Apparently DFAS does not understand HALF! Sent ex a DFAS affidavit, that would clarify this for them. He refuses to sign! Help!

Let me Clarify Military Divorce and Retirement!? As to Christina's response, I am NOT a money hungry witch! Apparently you are not military and have no earthly clue what you are talking about! I have a job and always held a job during our marriage! Plus raising 2 children with NO BABYSITTERS! This is something that the Military does for former spouses. It is my entitlement under their rules and regulations! I am am damn sure not going to give it up! I would be stupid to! As to the second person who is military and knows some of what he is saying. My ex was in a total of 21 yrs and did not go up in rank, DFAS gave me a formula that figured out what my portion of entitlement should be 18 yrs -v- his 21 yrs with no upgrade in rank. It comes to 42%. This is in the affidavit sent to him, by myself, Dfas,and my lawyer.I am not asking for anything other than what I am entitled to under military laws and regulations. I would be an absolute fool not to. What? I am going to walk away from over $600 a month for the rest of my life? Would you?

I am asking this because some of the candidates are looking to end this war on terror. so what about all the extra people who joined just to help fight.

If a retired U.S. military officer was convicted of a crime would they lose their rank and retirement pay? I don't know if this has ever happened before but I was just wondering what would happen. I would assume they would be kicked out of the military and lose their retired rank...but would they stop receiving retirement benefits? What if a retired military officer renounced his or her citizenship? Would they stop receiving retirement benfits and/or lose their retired rank?
Career military retired are being ripped off with having courts give half their retirement pay to ex spouse? Once declared unconstitutional, the liberal womens movement slipped it into a bill in congress a few years back. Most active duty, general to private, male or female do not know this new law exists. Beware. Inform all military personal of this. Best not to marry until after retirement. Just "shack up."
