George's father Aaron Bruce's villa is located south of Anderson Air Force Base.

Anderson Air Force Base covers a wide area, and the Igo area in northeastern Guam is all the territory of this strategic air force base. On the easternmost part of this area, there is an independent villa area where senior officers of Anderson Air Force Base live, and the minimum rank they must be colonel.

It was like Lieutenant Colonel Paul Adriano who came to pick up Yang Jing and his group, who was not qualified to live in this villa area.

Aaron Bruce, 57, was promoted to brigade general of the Air Force in 2009 and major general of the Air Force in 2014. He has been serving as major general for four years this year. In the United States, generals are absolutely professional soldiers, and there are only three ways to retire.

The first is to retire due to disability. This situation occurs less frequently with senior US military officials, especially major generals of the Air Force. Therefore, in terms of Aaron Bruce, if he wants to retire, there are only the latter two ways.

The second way of retirement is voluntary retirement. The US military stipulates that officers below major general have served for more than 20 years, of which those who hold officers for 10 years can voluntarily apply for retirement and submit them to the ministers of each branch for approval. Officers who have served for more than 30 years need to be approved by the president after applying for an individual. Officers who have served for 40 years can apply for retirement without any approval.

However, almost no senior officer who can be a general is willing to retire in this way. Unless something special happens, officers above the brigade general will not easily give up the various powers they have gained in their life-long struggle unless something special happens.

As for the third method of retirement, it is forced retirement. The requirements for this retirement are more complicated, but one of them is mandatory, that is, the colonel, brigade general and major general, who have not received promotion within 5 years from the date of obtaining the official rank, and must retire from active service within 30 days after the 5th anniversary.

Just like George's father, he was promoted to brigade general in 2009, and then stuck to a five-year time limit, and was promoted to major general in 2014. He served as major general for more than four years and almost five years. That is to say, if he was not promoted before September 2019, he would face forced retirement.

These were introduced to Yang Jing by George in the car.

"It's okay. If nothing happens to my father, my father's name will appear on the list of major generals promoted to lieutenant generals in June this year. This matter is almost 100% certain." When George said this, his face couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

Air Force Lieutenant General is an absolute senior US military. You should know that there are only 14 four-star generals in the entire US Air Force, while there are only 41 Samsung lieutenant generals.

And once you are promoted to Samsung Lieutenant General, some retirement requirements will not apply. It can be said that only after becoming Samsung Lieutenant General in the US military can you be considered a real and completely professional soldier - you can work for your whole life.

Given George's father's age, if he can be promoted to three-star lieutenant general in June this year, he will not retire even if he turns 60 in three years. In the US military, retirement at the age of 60 is only applicable to major generals and officers below major generals.

Now as an Air Force Major General who has served for four years, George's father's monthly salary can reach $10,108. Including a series of allowances such as food allowances, personal allowances, family allowances, enemy firepower allowances, etc., George's father can get about $22,000 a month!

That's $264,000 in a year!

This salary level is considered high in the United States, and most of the salary received by George's father is subsidized. This kind of military subsidy salary does not require taxes in the United States.

The most important thing is that as a senior officer, Aaron Bruce usually doesn’t need to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the base is all covered.

Just like the independent villa he lives in now, the two and a half-height villas occupy a construction area of ​​more than 600 square meters. Although this kind of villa is not a high-end villa, it is much better than the military camp where the big head soldiers live.

Moreover, living in this kind of villa does not require money. In other words, George's father has the right to use the villa where he lives now, but does not have ownership rights. But this is also very good. Without ownership, there is no need to pay the damn real estate tax...

This villa is a supporting facility for Anderson's Strategic Air Force Base. No matter how powerful the IRS is, it will not dare to come to such a strategic air force base, unless they want to force the officers and soldiers of this base to rebel.

So, it is actually a very beautiful thing for George's parents to live here.

When he arrived at the villa, George's mother was already standing at the gate waiting. Although George had a sister and a younger brother, and he had already left alone for a long time, in the eyes of his parents, he was always a child. In this regard, parents all over the world are the same.

George's mother Elizabeth Bruce is a 55-year-old white woman, but she has good maintenance. In 2004, George's father was transferred from the Vandenberg Strategic Air Force Base in California to Anderson Strategic Air Force Base in Guam as an Air Force Colonel, George's mother followed him. However, George was already an adult at that time and did not come to live with him. However, George's sister and brother were not yet adult, but lived with him for several years. But now they both left their parents and went out to live alone. Now, there are only old couples and a nanny in this villa with a large area.

Now that the eldest son is coming, he is looking forward to being a mother. Not only did he prepare a lot of ingredients early, but he has also been looking forward to it at the door of the villa.

After George Bruce got out of the car, the mother and son hugged each other for a long time, and clear tears could be seen on Elizabeth's face.

After a while of greetings, everyone followed George into the villa. Elizabeth was also very curious about Yang Jing. After all, her eldest son has lived a more comfortable life since he followed the mysterious boss of the East. This safe and profitable job made George's parents very grateful and curious about Yang Jing.

George's father was unable to greet Yang Jing in person because he had an important meeting today, but Elizabeth greeted him in person, which also gave Yang Jing enough face.

Chris and the others were already familiar with this place, so after entering the house, they sat for a while and shouted to the back garden to prepare for the evening barbecue dinner.

In the United States, the best way to eat with such gatherings with more people is to barbecue.

Yang Jing and George sat in the living room together. After a while, George's mother walked in with two cups of green tea.

"Yang, I have heard George mention you many times on the phone. George's father and I are very grateful for your care for George." After drinking two sips of tea, George's mother started chatting. As a philosophy professor at the University of Guam, Elizabeth has the elegance she deserves.

"Haha, Mrs. Bruce, you are too rewarding. George has helped me very much. I am almost unable to live without this guy now." Yang Jing joked with a smile.

"BOSS, don't let Connie hear you. I'm going to propose to Connie on Valentine's Day. If Connie knows this, I'm worried that Connie will regard me as GAY..."

Yang Jing and Elizabeth both laughed.

George Bruce, 34, is finally going to propose to his lover Connie. They have been together for more than five years. Now George is able to propose to Connie, which is a big joy in the team.

George announced this matter in person when the team gathered again from Port Moresby, so Chris and the others have been making fun of George over this period of time.

"So, George, have you chosen your house?" Although George had already left his parents' order, mothers still care about their children at all times.

"Mom, the house has been chosen, it's in San Francisco. However, the house I chose is not as big as the one you and my father live in. The house prices in San Francisco have soared a lot recently, but Connie and I decided to buy it from there. Of course, I can afford a villa in the Bay Area, thanks to the generosity of the boss, otherwise Connie and I could only live in an apartment." George praised Yang Jing a little while talking.

Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "George, you don't need to say such gratitude. The work you and Chris and others do is worthy of your salary and rewards, which is the reward you deserve. But I hope you don't leave me behind after marriage, otherwise Chris and John will be left in the future. And I hope there is a most professional pilot in my team."

"Haha, don't worry, BOSS, I won't leave this team. I've done a lot of comfort in this team. I can use all the skills I learned in the army before. I don't want to do this kind of happy and profitable job."

Elizabeth also smiled on her face.

The young man in front of him was not young, but he was really fond of things. After George came back, he called her and told her that his boss had paid money in the Arctic. Although his son didn't say it very clearly, Elizabeth still knew that the young rich man in front of him gave them bodyguards a reward of up to five or six million dollars in the Arctic alone.

As for his son, he received a reward of seven million dollars - Alert gave two million dollars, and Siberia gave another five million dollars.

My son just followed this young man to travel around for a few months, and the reward was seven million US dollars alone, which was more than the money the couple had earned in twenty years.

Although money is not omnipotent, the young boss can give so many rewards to the bodyguards around him, which is enough to prove the young man's importance to George and the others. This is what Elizabeth feels most at ease.

Generally speaking, the more you get, the more you have to pay. Especially for bodyguards like the eldest son, if they were other bosses, seven million dollars would be enough for the bodyguard to die. But the young man did not do this, and his son was still lively, which is enough to show that there is no great danger in working with this young man.

Although Elizabeth is reluctant to work as a highly dangerous industry like a bodyguard, her son is in his thirties. He has his own ideas, and his personality is like his father. He is born to be suitable for this industry, so Elizabeth has no choice.

Now that his son can follow a good boss, Elizabeth feels relieved.
