Retire Well

Can a team retire the same number for two different players?

I was thinking about the Seattle Mariners, eventually they should retire two players that wore #51, Ichiro and Randy Johnson.
I think both the M’s will retire Randy Johnson number.

The Diamondbacks because he threw a perfect game and was the World Series MVP, and the M’s because he played for them longer than any other team.

I knew that different teams can retire the same player. Of course Jackie Robinson is retired by every team, but also Nolan Ryan was retired by the Angels, Astros and Rangers.

The Yankees and Expos have retired the same numbers belong to two different players so the answer is yes.

And of course the idiot above is passing of a bad guess as an answer which is really all that the baseball section and most of yahoo is, bad guesses.

PS - are the other idiots reading the answers? EXPOS AND YANKEES RETIRED THE SAME NUMBER FOR TWO PLAYERS.

How much cash in the bank do you think is enough to retire on?

And which way do you lean politically?

What amount of money do you think one needs to retire comfortably?

What amount of money do you anticipate on having going into retirement?

Can a military member retire from the reserves with less than 20 good years?

For example, the state I worked for if you were 62 you could retire with only 5 or more years.

Not in the US. NO. To retire you must have 20 plus years in any branch. You can also transfere time between branches but you must have 20 years in the armed services to retire.

I also belive uniformed service time counts toward retirment if you were to tranfere to being a DoD civilian since you stay withnin the DoD service

When do you think your favorite NASCAR driver will retire?

Mark Martin is racing strong at 50. Do you think your driver will still be racing at 50, or retire sooner? What goals would they want to accomplish before they retire (one championship? 200 wins throughout the series, etc.)?
48 MOJO, I may not care for JJ, but that is some enthusiasm!

Well, my favorite is Mark Martin, and I have no idea when he will retire. I guess when he loses the desire to compete and the love he has for racing is gone, which he hasn't shown any signs of either, so your guess is as good as mine.

I would love to see him win races at tracks he's never won on (Pocono, Daytona, Chicagoland, Indianapolis, Homestead and New Hampshire), and a championship would be nice, but if he can't get that elusive title, I'll be happy with wins on any of the above mentioned tracks.

Will Pelosi retire gracefully or be publicly thrown under the bus?

She has now crossed the line completely and has become an embarrassment to the Democratic Party and the White House. Will she manufacture some pressing personal issue and be allowed to retire quietly, or should she be ridden out of town on a rail?

She has accused the CIA of lying. That should require an appointment of a special prosecutor to sort it out. If the CIA is lying appropriate action should be taken. If she (number 3 in line for the Presidency) is lying she should be prosecuted and thrown out of office.

What age does the military force you to retire?

Do you have to retire when your 30 years are up?

What age do they force you to retire because they think your old?
I mean for combat mission guys as well as normal jobs an awnser for both would be nice

I've never heard of or met anyone who was forced out for being too old. People are forced to retire for other reasons. Mostly for some reason or another they don't get promoted on time. They can be in an over manned field or just not meet the quota…or they can be a knuckle head.

Sometimes they are forced out for bad behavior…maybe it isn't terrible behavior, but it is better for everyone if they got out when the getting was good.

The oldest person to retire from the Navy was Rear Admiral Grace Hopper at age 80. She retired in 1986. She was one of the early computer programmers and scientist. She truely was an amazing woman and one of only three women to have a ship named after her.

She was a cool person and an extraordinary old woman…I like reading about her. She stayed in by presidential appointment.

I guess if you have highly specialized skill they will keep you around for while. Most people retire long before they are 80. Like others said the max is about 60…but if the President or Congress wants you then you can stay.

You see a lot of older people who are doctors. Most of the older people are officers and have skills that are hard to find elsewhere. Like a neuro-brain surgeon would have an easier time staying than an intern. It is all about needs of the military.

If you retire at 62 is it possible to get insurance that does not cost a Fortune?

I want to retire so bad. Any suggestions on obtaining medical insurance?

Probably it would be very expensive, but try this site where you can get quotes from different companies in your area so you can see if there is something affordable and according with your needs

Which place is cheaper for a person to retire: Thailand or the Philipinnes?

I am thinking about retiring in about 10 years and I want to start planning. If I stay at my current job, I can retire with about $2950 per month (a little under 100 per day).

I would like to retire overseas. I am concidering Thailand and the Philippines.

Which one would be cheaper? Which one has the better quality of life for retirees?

I have lived in both places at different times as a civilian and in the military. Both countries have something good for retirees but if I had to choose again one over the other Thailand is still my choice.

I have (retired) friends that lived in the Philippines and they moved to Thailand. They felt safer and believe that their life would be a little better in Thailand.

Before you make any decisions spend some time in both places. Talk to expats in both places and see what they think. You will find retirees in the Angeles City area, Subic Bay area and Manila. (Other areas too of course.) Some of the places in Thailand where you will find foreign retirees will be Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket.

Visit first and then decide!

Thailand is my choice, I think it is safer, cleaner and the hotels are cheaper too! Just an opinion. In the Philippines almost everyone speaks English, they drive on the same side of the road as Canadians and Germans. In Thailand they drive on the same side of the road as Australia and UK.

Visit first several times. You can fly to Manila or Bangkok and take a side trip to the other city and look around. Do the research now before you put your money down!

How long can you ride a horse before you should retire it?

By that I mean what is the recommended age to retire your horse.

You can't really state that a horse should be retired at X age as all horses are individuals and different.

What you should look at is the level of work and the horse's ability to do it, also taking into account his mental health.

A horse that has been doing hard work like eventing and such can often do showjumping for much longer than XC, equally a horse who is used for roping can retire to reining or pleasure work.

Some horses due to injury need to retire to slower work much earlier than others (racehorses as an example)

Basically once your horse is over ten it's getting on a bit, but if it's happy in its work with no health problems then it's fine to continue that work.

At fifteen or so you need to be on the lookout for changes to muscle tone and such, and leg injuries. Horses often start needing a bit of help around this time but of course that's not set in stone - many ponies over here in the UK go on well into their 20s in gaming.

If at any time the horse sustains a serious injury then that may mean that he needs to retire earlier as his injury may cause arthritis or similar problems.

Some older horses benefit from a diet that has been specially formulated for the older horse, and a lot of people are very keen on using pain killing herbs for their animals who are feeling their age, such things as Devil's Claw and 'Mobility Mix'

Basically if at any time the horse is struggling in his work - look for excessive tiredness, recurring lameness, lethargy, stiffness, constant injuries and absolutely anything else you can think of, then it may be time to consider lightening his workload. Of course this decision can be discussed with a vet who will be the best person to advise you for individual horses.

Older horses can still enjoy light hacking out, or even if they're that old being led out for a change of scenery. Its all about quality of life for them.

Hope that helps a little?

My choice was the Philippines.

Tropical weather.
Many beautiful beach and inland resorts.
