For me personally I'd be interested in the number of folks that have Guard/Reserve gigs or drawing Military pensions. Cheers.
no worries, I think there might be a perception that many in the furlough range are either in their late 20s or retired mil with tricare and a pension, that’s just simply not true.
regarding how many are still in the guard/reserve I can offer anecdotal evidence from my class, which is in the 1721. We had a larger class (40+), I think about 60% my class was civilian background, and only 7 or 8 of the mil background guys were still in guard/reserves. Not sure if my class was an exception or if this has been the norm. I’d be curious as well to see how many are retired military
