PRAIRIE GROUCH GRAND PRAIRIE TX March 13, 2012 7:42am	Dear Colonel, My reply did not say that you were receiving 80 to 85 thousand in retirement pay......It said that the a current retiree would receive that amount when combined with tax and health benefits. You are in error about the COLA's. Military retirees received a 3.6% COLA raise of 2011. The reason that we had no COLA for 2009 and 2010 is the receipt of a sudden inflation spike COLA in 2008 which quickly receded after a large COLA which exceeded 5 percent. Of course, being part of a special interest group we got to keep the money. In 41 years of military retirement, my pay has increased about 550 percent. Depending on your date of retirement, I suspect you are close to current retiree rates. By the way, a Lt Col with 40 years of service will retire at 100 percent of base pay which will be over $100,000.00. Forty years for an O-5 would be rare, so I guess this provision was slipped in to benefit some higher ranks. Who knows ? THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE which has become the equivalent of HAVE A NICE DAY normally delivered with the same sincerity.
