First Off, great AMA. How often to you train with other foreign forces? E.G. US Army.

Thanks Doc, As a US Army Vet I cannot show you med folks enough love :D

18 PSSH Lucky :) we have to do 20 regardless. But the one benefit is that for every year deployed it cuts 6 months off of collection. Instead of benefits at 62 you can get them at 61.5.

So I presume based on your deployment you could retire early with full benefits?

Again great information.

What do you think of the recruitment push for US Servicemen to transition to Aus? Why not stay the 20 or is retirement time different?

Plus based on your answers it reminds of my time in the US Army. The Army is the Army where ever you go. Hooah.

Not exactly, we are downsizing our service and qualified soldiers that wish to continue to be in the military can join the Aussie Army. Its a cost effective way to get the experience.

But why only 16 years not 20? is retirement different?

Thank you for your service as well brother
