I get benefits forever because my husband works for the USAF. Civilian. Not enlisted. No potential sacrifice or loss of life and yet here I am set for life because….. 🤷🏻*♀️ I’ve never understood how or why. I’ve been employed FT for over 40 years but the reason I have security is because my husband works for the AF. Why doesn’t my employment history have anything to do with my benefits/security?
