It appears that you will retire in alot better shape than one would get after 26 yrs of work , SS would probably equate to maybe 1200.00 per month and I assume you also graduated from USNA.
So, if my son retires at 26 yrs which would be age 47 on a O-6 rate, he is still miles ahead of the guy on the street.

You should be very proud of your son...a few good friends of mine have sons at the Academy (all in their second year) and they are the finest kind of young men. I am sure your son is the same.
I did not go to the Naval Academy...I went to Cal. My son, however, wants to attend USNA without any pressure from me at all. We'll see
The retirement is good, not great, but the life I've had flying off small frigates and and cruisers, the experiences across the world flying and in management is frankly the real reason I stayed. I wish your son all the best in whatever he opts for, for however long
