New Congress

[EMCM]

Shall we start again to get this moving?

Go for it, but we need to show that a Reservist/Guardsmen doesn't make as
much in retirement as an active duty member. That's how they DoD calculated
it & presented it to Congress years ago, as if an E-7 with 20 years and an
O-5 with 24 years retired--at 20 x 365 points & 24 x 365 points,
respectively. In other words, congress was given figures that said there is
essentially no difference in Reserve Component retirement & active duty
retirement, other than the actives get it right away. BTW, the latest buzz
is to look at the actives not receiving their retirement right after they
retire.... so we've got a long road to hoe!

I think we should give it another try. For me the difference I notice is the Active Duty Soldiers have their family with them and a tight network of other soldier's families to lean on. The Reservist is taken from their home, family, job, possible a business which for some not all does not make up for the pay incentives while on active duty. We are all soldiers and we all served as ordered by the US Army.  I had to be deployed at a critical time my family needed me. Another time I was away and my husband had to deal with trying to cover the roof where a tree fell on the house during a bad rain storm: called the insurance company and no one to come out for 2 hours. I was not there to help. Crisis come up and active duty as well as reservist soldiers are not available, but active duty families usually have someone they can depend on to help. It is a tight bond between soldiers and soldiers' families while on base or close to base. While on deployment this is what I experienced and I think as Reserviest we did our job and we deserve to be recognized and given retirement pay early.   --- On Fri, 1/7/11, Lloyd E.
