Welcome Home! Fresh back from relaxing on the pleasant shores of
beautiful Lake Huron, I’m ready to get back in the fray. This week’s
guest will be Gordon Tatro from the AAUL. We will be discussing Uniform
Services Former Spouses Protection Act. This is the little piece of
legislation that allows a spouse to divorce and take half of a military
retirees retainer pay, although they have never spent a moment in
uniform, spent months at sea, been deployed to foreign countries, or
been on 24 hour call. This is something Congress needs to address. The
First Amendment to the Constitution states that we have the right to
petition the government for a redress of grievances. All petitions on
this matter seem to fall on deaf ears. We need to look for different
options to address this problem. Tune in, and as usual, the toll free
call in number is 800-259-9231. Semper Fi,Rick TownsendFirebase Adrian
