    My friend who is a fed public defender in Atlanta has a ton of PPP fraud cases right now. However enforcement seems to be… selective

    ROTC, have a good buddy that has absolutely killed it. 20 years as a naval officer, 120k retirement and tricare for life.

    This guy's amazing really. Bought real estate all over the country. Navy paid for a graduate degree at Penn State, now he's a part time professor at J.U.

    When we lived in VA double dipping was the way to go. Some folks retired on Friday and went back to the same desk on Monday pulling two checks.

    The best though was my next door neighbor. He was NYPD, got shot, joined the Army, retired as a colonel, and then did 20 years with the feds. Pulled three checks and his wife got disability for depression.

    Interesting precedent. Any time the Court does something you don’t like, just declare it illegitimate and do whatever you want. I wonder if that will ever come back to bite you.

    Shocking that the usual suspects have again tried turning this thread into something it's got nothing to do with.

    There’s no way it’s a 120K retirement at 20 years. An O6 (colonel or captain, which one cannot make by the 20-year mark) with 26 years makes about a $100K pension. Now you could also be including disability, which at 100% would be about $48K, but that also is not tied to retirement. A private with less than a year gets the same payment as a general with 40 years if they have same percentage of disability.

    Yeah, I believe you're correct on the added disability...he was a captain.

    No idea. I know all three of those words, but strung together they mean nothing to me in context.

    Yep. Gotta start weaning them at some point. Those govt titties are only good for so long and it has been decades already.
