I wish I had known that. I'll save you the math and simplify the goal - - get hired before your 35th birthday. I wish I had known how important that was when I was taking my time getting out of the Air Force.
Seniority is important, and everyone "knows" that. 25 by 60 is more critical. It trumps military retirement.

I don't think you've checked the retirment pay scales lately. An O-5 with over 20 years will have a total payout of over 1 Million Dollars over 20 years. Add that to any current pay and a second retirment (even if it's less than the 25-60) and it pretty hard to beat. It's a different story if you punch at 10 years, but if you can hang-in untill 20 you can earn a really sweet deal.
It's about time.
