As a military retiree I did not get a COLA this year however, as usual, the retiree Delta Dental went up (like it does every year). Consequently, my military retired pay went DOWN by $20.00. How long is this going to happen before your “retired section” addresses this issfue. It is evident that VA compensation and active duty pay is going to keep going up and Social Security and retired military recipients are being put out to pasture.

IN THE SUMMER ISSUE 2008 YOU HAD A STORY ABOUT THE START OF E-8 AND E-9'S. I WAS WORKING THE ADMISSION UNIT AT USNH BREMERTON AT THAT TIME SETTING PEOPLE UP FOR THEIR PHYSICALS. THE OFFICE HAD A DUTCH DOOR AND ONE MORNING I HAD THE BOTTOM CLOSED WHEN I HEARD SOMEONE COUGH AND I TURNED TO SEE A MAN WITH A STAR ON HIS COLLAR. NOW HAVING NEVER SEEN A SENIOR OR MASTER CHIEF I DID HEAR THAT THEY HAD ONE OR TWO STARS. SO I SAID, “BE RIGHT WITH YOU SENIOR CHIEF”. FINISHED MY TYPING AND TURNED TO SEE A BGEN IN THE USMC. YIPES, ME A HN. HE SAID THAT IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE CALLED A CHIEF.
