(Fri, 17 Apr 2009 14:04:45 GMT)
Some years ago I paid, voluntarily, into an additional voluntary contributions scheme in the civil service through Scottish Widows. I stopped paying after a while and haven't made payments since.
I have asked for my money back but Scottish Widows say I cannot have it until my retirement point. It is about ÂŁ1700 that I could do with now, does anyone know if I can get it or can Scottish Widows hold onto it?

(Fri, 20 Mar 2009 03:29:38 GMT)
My grandmother has a 1099-R from the Office of Personnel Management for a Civil Service retirement which lists the taxable amount in box 2a as "unknown". Gross distribution was $12192; Federal Income Tax Withheld was $69; this is a civil service retirment. There are no divorces or deaths (which most of the literature tends to reference).
So, is the amount paid in box 1 the same as the taxable amount? If not, how do I determine taxable amount for box 2a when it says Unknown?

Countries like Sweden have more economic and Political Freedom then the United States and they have a universal health care system. They have welfare but almost nobody in unemployed.

Really what I'm asking is: IF I was able to get through ROTC, training, flight school, and the mandatory 10 years of service as a pilot, I would be something like 35. If I were to do this, would I basically be signing my life over to the military? Would any aspirations towards a civil job, possibly as a designer or engineer or something, be gone? At that point might it be better to stay another
