Change Special Operations Forces retirement pay to include all pays that veterans received while on active duty.

Created by D.F. on June 27, 2013

While on active duty, Special Operations Forces receive a significant amount of special pays that are not reflected in the amount of pay they receive upon retirement. The members of the special operations community effectively retire at 25% of their monthly pay after 20 years of service as opposed to a military member that has not received special pays and retires at 50% for the same amount of time in service. Adding special pays to retirement for Special Operations Forces and other military members that receive a significant amount of their pay from special pays while on active duty would show the military members and their families the appreciation that their country has for their sacrifices.
