Military

Service members that are on active duty or who are currently in the reserves or even guard for a specific amount of time (which usually refers to a minimum of 20 years) are able to qualify for payments during their retirement years.

The military uses all kinds f methods of calculating retirement payments, but usually, those who serve the most will get generous amounts of payment in retirement.
