For example, what is the percentage of Army retirees on permanent disability as a percentage of total Army retirees. Same for non and temp within the Army population. Then do the same for the rest of the branches. Then you could compare these percentages to each branch by branch.Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 19 at 2014 4:43 PM2014-12-19T16:43:58-05:002014-12-19T16:43:58-05:00SFC Joe S.

Air force, majority no disability, get it. Navy same, get it. Marines and Army, by the size of the service. still makes sense. Don't know what temporary retirement is though.Response by 1SG David Niles made Dec 19 at 2014 10:03 PM2014-12-19T22:03:02-05:002014-12-19T22:03:02-05:00CMSgt James Nolan378205<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I, like <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="278956" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/278956-15r-ah-64-attack-helicopter-repairer">SSG Private RallyPoint Member</a> was not sure how the numbers make sense...they don't add up by service. Then I started going by category....hey math was never my strong point. It gets to around mid 90s (or some room for error) in each category (to be honest I stopped after 2). Would love some clarification on that because the numbers don't add up by service.<br /><br />If someone completely gets the chart, please expound.Response by CMSgt James Nolan made Dec 19 at 2014 10:31 PM2014-12-19T22:31:45-05:002014-12-19T22:31:45-05:00CPO Jon Campbell378938<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is no way that the Air Force has exactly the same number of enlisted and officer stats through all three catagories. Never heard of temporary retirement. Why not do a chart with all 5 branches and show officers vs enlisted / active / disabled / gray area?Response by CPO Jon Campbell made Dec 20 at 2014 2:07 PM2014-12-20T14:07:02-05:002014-12-20T14:07:02-05:00SPC John Decker379582<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't understand what "temporary retirement" means.

The secretary of the navy is required by law to maintain the TDRL, and has delegated responsibility for this function to PERS-82.Response by PO1 Brian Czarnik made Dec 21 at 2014 12:39 PM2014-12-21T12:39:57-05:002014-12-21T12:39:57-05:00Capt Andrew Pratt2140603<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>.Response by Capt Andrew Pratt made Dec 7 at 2016 2:22 PM2016-12-07T14:22:44-05:002016-12-07T14:22:44-05:00SFC Adam Potter2562384<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So it states this is as of 2013... going back how far?
