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.
