Try this link to read just about everything you ever wanted to know about Federal Retirement. http://www.senate.gov/CRSReports/crs-publish.cfm?pid=%270E%2C*PLC8%22%40%20%20%0A One of the questions I am still researching is what is available to them in Medical Coverage? I know while in service they can use Walter Reed or any other Veteran Medical Facility while in DC working, and while home in their state any medical facility that is covered under their regular Medical Insurance policy as with Civil Servent. But the real question I still have yet to find is are they able to use any Military Facility when they retire. Most of us regular retired OT's are priority 8 or 9 which you are not going to see anyone unless you are able to wait in the waiting area for 6 months or so, i.e. thank God for TFL. Still researching.

Thanks Captain very informative post. I sent an e-mail to all those concerned from my area opposing these cuts. My youngest is on active duty serving on the Reagan and unless the Navy want to provide living quarters to married pesonnel they probably ought to leave pay alone. My suggestion was to cut the Flag billets and senior enlisted billets and retire those filling said billets. I'm sure there are alot that could go and not be missed.
