Dear RNRK,

If you remember till the early 70s there was one pension for each rank, if one had completed a certain number of years of service. However if someone had done a few years less a certain amt per year was deducted. But not due to the fact that he had not reached the maximum of his rank. Why cannot it be done the same way now? After all the services had an edge in pension entitlement due to service conditions and early retirement. It is since the "Administrators of Public Money" took it upon themselves to apportion a major portion of public money for their ilk that we got shortchanged. I do not see any reason to feel guilty of being greedy, when no one else in this country does.
Services have been too naive to accept things in the "interest of the country". Lets stop it forthwith. Do not be taken in by the explanations of the civil servants. They are neither civil nor they behave like servants. There is a very small minority of them who appreciate our contribution to the countries security. Most see us as competitors who lose out when people compare them with us. Be aware of your worth.
