And it's not free. There are co-payments for about everything.

During my service time, my peers were making about 10X what I was making.

Many years later, I worked on professional staff for a university and got a pension for my 7 years there.

And I make it a firm practice not to be jealous of anyone for anything, and to be at peace with the choices I made.

(They were good ones)
