Does anyone have any idea how the military pension works for docs? Do you take into consideration the special pays VSP, physician pay, etc or is it just based on rank and years of service? Are there any military docs out there getting ready to retire? About how much could one expect yearly from a pension assuming they were retiring this year after 20 years of service?
I understand military physicians get paid less but having a federal pension is a big plus depending on what it is. Assuming docs got a pension of $70K annually one would need to have accumulated 1.2-1.4 million dollars to equal a $70K annual pension.
Thanks
