Even then they are under new retirement called furs when they pay into and still pay SS. Military retirement has nothing to do with other two, it’s separate. Now survives benefits for military, they pay for that out of their military retirement. Nobody was holding anybody back from joining military. It was open to everyone. But some can’t take orders or willing to move at drop of hat.

In D.C., it is very common for a LT Colonel or above to line up a GS-15 civilian position before they retire, and step right into that position immediately. In some offices, it is a waste of time for a career civilian employee to even apply for the position because the office is managed and controlled by military retirees.
