You bring up a very good point regarding the amount of money they could make in the private sector compared to what they were making in the military, along with all the benefits. I look at a captain's wages, for example. They could be anywhere from $70,000 to $90,000, I assume. So if that person, like your son, gets retrained and goes into the private sector and makes about $40,000 a year, that's quite a drop in income. That would also have a mitigating effect on the personal problems they're already experiencing, because they were making a decent salary before and now they're not. I'm just wondering about your advice on this.
We already have a number of people within the military who are getting full pay plus a veteran's pension of some kind, maybe for a slight disability, but they're still serving their country. Many of these people, like your son, have been medically released out of the military. So I'm looking for your advice. Is there something we should be looking at within the military that your son could be retrained for so he could go back into the service? Is there another role in which your son and others could serve their country while still wearing the uniform, but not necessarily a combat role? Would something of that nature appeal to your son? Have you talked to your son about that?
