What have you done for me lately?

one enlistment does NOT qualify one for lifelong benefits. Even the GI bill expires after ten years. Everything else stops when you turn in your green card. Unless you are injured and receive disability. Other than that, one must retire after twenty years to get lifetime benefits. And those suck, they're not what one gets on active duty. They mostly consist of commissary privileges and MWR access.

I know of which I speak.
