Abstract
There is, among military personnel and their
dependents, a perception that benefits provided to them by
the Government and their respective services have been
victims of a steady erosion in value. The purpose o-f this
thesis is to determine if the four major areas of benefits
(retirement, housing, medical, and commissary/exchange) have
decreased, increased or remained constant from base year
1967 to 1937. The conclusion reached in this thesis is that
retirement and medical benefits have, in fact, seriously
eroded over the past 20 years; commissary benefits have been
slightly improved, exchange benefits have remained constant,
and housing benefits have increased as to the number or
government quarters available, but decreased in the quality
of those quarters, and service members forced to live off
base have suffered erosion in the purchasing power of the
housing allowance.
