Space "A" - Plus!
I agree entirely with Tankertrashnavs' comments regarding this country's treatment of retired servicemen and women. Apart from benefits like space "A" travel, US vets have their own "retiree" ID card which gives them access to all US military bases, home and abroad, enabling them to use all the base facilities ie. PX/BX, Commissary, Golf Courses, Bowling Alleys etc etc. I think they are also entitled to Medical and Dental treatment. Many US vets plan their retirement making sure they are near to a military base, for these very reasons, plus they can opt to live in places like S, California or Florida. How different to UK where the RAF is possibly the only "firm" in the world to take your watch off you when you retire!!!
