Quote: "The minute you're sixty-five years old you are out in the COLD, and that is criminal to me." Go to http://www.af. mil/shared/ media/document/ AFD-070307- 102.pdf. See page 17, second paragraph, last sentence.

If you want to see how the US Congress works at times with the Pentagon's Surgeons General go to page 36. Read the anecdote and then read the entire 51 page report. To go to a certain page, click on the "two pages" in the upper left corner.

================================================== ===========
As with previous National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA), of 2006 and
2007, the 2008 NDAA did not address or correct the following issues--

-375,000 retirees with less than 50% disability denied CRDP
-327,000 retirees age 70 & 30 years still paying SBP premiums
(this provision left to take full effect in 2008)
-188,000 Chapter 61 with less than 20 years denied CRDP
(maybe 1/3 will qualify of CRSC)
- 55,000 widows denied relief from SBP/DIC
(they were allowed $50/month in 2008 phased in to add $10/month
over the next 5 years … the average offset is $800-$900/month)
