One other interesting tidbit I saw in a Military Officer Assn magazine was that there is a bill, or maybe just an effort, to move the reserve retirement to 55, without ever doing the 90 active duty days per year.
This has been an ongoing battle for years. It was getting close to moving into the house/senate for passing right before OIF. Since the budget required to do this is really large and long lasting, it got killed fast. I would love to see this happen but it would take a big push from some big politicians. I am just glad that we get TRS for only 180 bucks.
As for the retired medical...my mom got cancer when my dad turned 60 and it helped a lot in terms of care and costs. Well worth it for big health issues in the long run.
