- a lovely credit card with no interest rate as long as i pay $1 a month, low interest rate if i don't

That's a nice deal..
Is this because you've been 4 years in the military, or is there different deals for different officers/grades/privates.. ??

free health and dental applies for anyone in the military so does the life insurance.
the amount of the loan changes with your paygrade and i've made rank every time i was eligible (4 times)
pay me to go to school is because when i enlisted i decided to take the navy college fund instead of the $3000 enlistment bonus
reserves pays for my tuition (doesn't apply to all states)
26 college credits applies to my my rate and rank
credit card is for any navy/marine personel
re-enlistment bonus is due to my rate
experience is common sense, the top secret clearance is due to my rate
and retiring when i'm 40 is due to me taking 2 years off between active duty and the reserves

You've really got a great deal going on there, keep it up. Don't you get like 30 grand (or 40?) a year when you retire, too? Plus, you can get another job, and still get the pay from being retired military, I believe (I may be wrong, but I think that's all right)

yep and if i can get a civilian job with the state of federal government, i can stay in the reserves and "double dip". all that means is while i'm doing the things for the military and getting paid by the military, my job would pay me their rate and give me the time off. so i'd eat up tax payer's money twice as fast ;D
i decided that i don't want to be a state trooper so now i'm looking at immigration, DEA, border patrol, or FBI

Hey man, I ain't gonna knock it. Take advantage of the opportunities to the fullest extent you can, man... it's all legal, I don't have any problems with you double dipping. I don't really even have a problem with that system, we need to keep our military and govt. officers well paid, when you're talking about the lines of work you're talking about. Those benefits are REDICULOUS, man, lol. You're doing good. Mine don't stack up as well...
Free company vehicle
Free gas
Free phone
$14.00 a day meal allowance
Free Medical
Free Dental
$25,000 Life Insurance
Commission
Not too bad, though I guess. I need to look into my retirement options, I haven't given much thought to that, other than to buy a 400 grand life insurance policy in the event I don't GET to retire. LOL. That's about the extent of the planning I've done, though, I need to pay off some credit card bills first.
