If I'm not mistaken, you the federal governemnt goes 25/55 or 20/60.....in other words to retire you need 25 years of service AND have to be 55 years old to retire.

a lot of the guys that are contracting w/ the government are ex-military...where the age rule does not exist. do 20 and collect, then contract out.

the federal government has also changed, where now the retirement plan is more of a 401k format. not a pension. people are grandfathered in depending on start of service date whether they qualify for pension or savings plans
