clearly you have no clue about what's happening with the shipping industry right now - you really must walk around with your nose stuck in some impractical book...

I'd like to address a. again just for fun.

When I became an officer money wasn't an issue. I didn't care what it paid, I just loved doing it. A lot of fortunate things came into place over the last 19 yrs that really have made it an excellent career in many ways, at least at this department.

We have retirement options like the DROP which allows you to sell back up to 3 yrs of your service time for a lump sum payment. You can DROP forward up to 5 yrs.

a Lieutenant with 28 yrs of service could retire, selling back 3 yrs of service at $120K X 3yrs. $360K lump sum. His last check will include 1700hrs of sick time and 400 hours of vacation he sells back which is standard procedure at $56 an hour or $117,600.

So the average Lieutenant with 28 yrs of service retires with $477,600 pre tax to place in a PROP fund or simply his or her bank account. That doesn't count the deferred comp account they have contributed to over the years.

On top of that, their annual retirement check for the rest of their lives is around $95K a year.

I'm with you on that not being rich, but honestly, for people who started their career never expecting to make very much money, it's a pretty sweet retirement for the Texas area.

what the FUCK you get 100 grand a year after you retire?!?!

With good technical skills he can also work in other branches than the shipping industry. So yes, it's a reliable job.

Around that, give or take a couple thousand depending on the years of service. We do have one Lieutenant who for whatever reason has been here about 42 yrs. It's just crazy. He made Lieutenant in 1978! We have a 3.2 multiplier for every year of service. He could sell back 3 yrs, take his 100K+ bust out check, and still get 124% or about 148K a year which would be a huge pay raise and have 400K in the bank to just stay home. Guy has no life outside the department unfortunately
