I was Air Force, but I think this ruling may have originated with Vietnam, when numbers of Air Force generals I knew, were on extra-pay flying status, right up until they retired with disability the next day.

Bob, this has been in effect from way back from what I have read. Even before Vietnam. However, whichever, it is totally unfail. I know people who get their full disability and a government retirement working as GS workers. There are plenty of them here in Bremerton, Washington near the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. And, me and other retirees have to pay our own.
