UK soldiers sacked days before generous pension date
They have raised suspicions that the Army, which has just axed 3,000 personnel, targeted a number who were within touching distance of generous lifelong pay outs.
One 40-year-old sergeant serving in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers was only three days away from serving 22 years and qualifying for an immediate pension pot worth £108,000. He will now have to wait until he is 65 to receive the pension.
Parents of officers have also contacted The Daily Telegraph saying that their sons have been sacked just short of serving 16 years, at which point they would get an immediate annual stipend of around £12,000. They too will have to wait until they are 65.

It's what happens to all who put their faith in the system - disposable!

Nothing new here. I heartily suspect this stuff is part of the reason why they conveniently discharged me at the time. I was a short three months away from receiving benefits as long as I wasn't dishonorably discharged at some later date. GI Bill, home loan assistance, the works :/

You are "subjects"...
