After being discharged for a medical disability in 1991, I held a few minimum wage jobs until I started working with the Postal Service in January 1994. As of January 2011, I've been with the USPS for 17 years now. I had to pay the government for my military time to apply it towards my postal service retirement time. In June or July of 2010, I'll have a total of 30 years in for federal service time but not ready to retire yet.
