Question
Hello Rod,
I so hope you can help me find statistics regarding how many military personnel retired from service after serving at least 20 years, if possible narrowing it down to California and/or sacramento county. I am looking for data for a class in which we are designing a workshop for this population and need stats to show the need of such a workshop.
I dont know why, but I am not finding anything with my searches. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your service to our country and to helping me!

Hi Karen. You'll want to see the FY 2005 Department of Defense Statistical Report on Military retirement at: http://www.dod.mil/actuary/statbook05.pdf
This is the latest data available (the FY 2006 report will probably be published sometime in May 2007).
One of the charts in the report shows the number of military retirees, by zip code. Data is current as of October 1, 2005.
For more information about the United States Military, feel free to visit my military information website at: http://usmilitary.about.com
Hope this helps!
