A panel looking at military compensation has recommended dramatic changes in the military retirement system.
The recommendations are part of the second volume put out by the 10th Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation.
The first volume -- released in March -- looked at cash compensation. Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Jan D. “Denny” Eakle was director of the panel, and she briefed the press during a Pentagon news conference today.
Eakle said critics of the current military retirement system say it is not equitable, it is not flexible, and it is not efficient.
