They definitely take care of their people! My uncle was a fighter pilot stationed in the Philippines (Clark?) through the 80's.
He's an orthopedic surgeon now, and had all his schooling paid for. He's done quite well for himself, and now owns 2 aircraft for his private enjoyment.
He was just in KC in May to go through instruction and training at Garmin headquarters for one of their newer flight decks. I'm not 100% sure, but I think he just upgraded and got a new bird.
