Friday, April 16th, 2010
gossimer2005 asked:


I do not work for this company, but am doing research for an attorney. How do if I find out who manages a pension fund at a company? HR will not tell me since I am not an employee.This company has also since merged with another. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sorry if I was unclear. I’m not looking to sue the fund or the manager. I just need to know who manages the plan.

My brother in law says he can, but I think hes an idiot (because he is one.) I know the regular army personal gets a pension after like 20 or 30 years (and they deserve it.) But he is in the reserves and thinks he can get the pension also. Can he?

Can anyone in the Marine Corps educate me on pension?

Monday, April 12th, 2010
Alex F asked:


There are probably a lot of people who don’t stay in the military for 20 years, but from what I’ve heard the pension money is great. However, I’m not exactly sure how to calculate it. If there’s someone, retired or currently, in the Marine Corps, could you please clear up some confusion as to what factors play into pension money? I’m looking at 20 years as a commissioned officer. I’m only guessing that would be around O-6 or something like that.

I wish I had added this to my last question. =) Thanks.
