The U.S. Armed Forces exists in a reality all its own. Members are fed, paid, clothed, housed, and protected in a way few other American citizens can claim. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines can shop at low-price grocery stores, protect their families with low-cost insurance, and earn a lifetime pension before they turn 40 years old. In fact, military life offers so many benefits and perks, it’s hard for the average serviceman or woman to keep track of them. Finally, here is a guide that explains the benefits and how to obtain them. Inside, readers will find:
• Clear and precise explanations of active duty family benefits • Details on veteran education and medical benefits • A money-saving guide to discounts for both active duty personnel and Veterans
This is a useful reference book for military members. I have to admit that I didn't read every page, instead perusing the entire book and reading the sections that piqued my curiosity. Some of the information is quite basic, but on the whole, it's a handy guide. I don't like the 'Idiot's' moniker, but I know it's just part of the series.
