For me it was a no brainer. I Salvage a nice retirement check. <br /><br />But, perhaps as important or more so I now have full retirement benefits. The first time I visited the pharmacy a MSgt said, "Do you realize you are getting over $1000 in medicine" I get this every quarter. <br /><br />Only you can decide if it is worth it to you. But, I would advise to be sure you consider all of the retirement benefits when deciding.Response by Capt Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 13 at 2018 8:22 AM2018-10-13T08:22:39-04:002018-10-13T08:22:39-04:00CSM Charles Hayden4042055<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="804805" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/804805-11b-infantryman">SFC Private RallyPoint Member</a> Many benefits continue to accrue with longevity.
