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 the northeast of Guam is all part of this strategic air force base. In the easternmost part of this area, there is an independent villa area, where senior officers of Anderson Strategic Air Force Base live, and the lowest rank must be colonel.

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

Aaron Bruce, 57, was promoted to brigadier general of the air force in 2009 and major general of the air force in 2014. He has held the post of major general for four years this year. In the United States, generals are absolutely professional soldiers. There are only three ways for them to retire.

The first is to retire because of disability, which rarely happens to senior U.S. military officials, especially major generals of the air force. So, in the case of Aaron Bruce, if he wants to retire, there are only the last two ways.

The second way is voluntary retirement. The U.S. military stipulates that officers below major general have served for more than 20 years, of which those who have served as officers for 10 years can voluntarily apply for retirement and report to the ministers of various services for approval. An officer who has served for more than 30 years must be approved by the president upon an individual application. Officers who have served for more than 40 years may apply for retirement without any approval.

However, few senior officers who can be generals are willing to retire in this way. Unless there is a special case of having to retire, officers above brigadier general in the U.S. Army will not easily give up all kinds of power they have earned all their life.

As for the third way of retirement, it is compulsory retirement. The requirements for such retirement are more complex, but one of them is mandatory, that is, Colonel, Brigadier General and major general must be discharged from active service within 30 days after the fifth anniversary if they have not been promoted within five years from the date of obtaining the official rank.

Just like George's father, he was promoted to brigadier general in 2009, and then he was promoted to major general in 2014 under the five-year time limit. He has served as major general for more than four years, almost five full years. In other words, if he can't be promoted before September 2019, he will face compulsory retirement.

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

"It's all right. If my father doesn't have an accident, my father's name will appear in the list of major generals promoted to lieutenant general in June this year, which is almost 100% certain." George couldn't help showing a touch of pride on his face when he said this.

Lieutenant general, that's the absolute top of the U.S. military. You know, there are only 14 four-star generals in active service in the U.S. air force, while there are only 41 three-star generals.

And once promoted to Samsung lieutenant general, some retirement requirements will not apply. It can be said that in the U.S. Army, only after becoming a three-star lieutenant general can they be regarded as real and thoroughly professional soldiers - they can work for a lifetime.

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

Now, as a major general of the air force who has served for four years, George's father's monthly salary can reach US $10108. With a series of allowances such as food allowance, personal allowance, family allowance and enemy fire allowance, George's father can get almost US $22000 a month!

That's $264000 a year!

This salary level is also a high income in the United States, and like George's father, more than half of the salary is subsidized. This kind of military subsidy salary does not need to be taxed 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, accommodation and transportation, and the base has all been contracted.

Just like the independent villa he lives in now, the two-and-a-half storey villa accounts for more than 600 square meters. Although this villa is not a high-end villa, it is much stronger than the military camp where the big soldiers live.

And you don't need money to live in this villa. In other words, George's father has the right to use the villa he now lives in, but has no ownership. But this is also very good. Without ownership, you don't have to pay the damn real estate tax

This villa belongs to the supporting facilities of Anderson Strategic Air Force base. Even if the IRS is superior, they dare not come to this strategic air force base to find trouble, unless they want to force the officers and soldiers of this base against it.

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

By the time he arrived at the villa, George's mother was already waiting at the gate. Although George has a sister and a brother, and he was independent long ago, he will always be a child in the eyes of his parents. This is the same for parents all over the world.

George's mother Elizabeth Bruce is a 55 year old white woman, but she is well maintained. When George's father was transferred from Vandenberg Strategic Air Force Base in California to Anderson Strategic Air Force Base in Guam as an Air Force colonel in 2004, George's mother followed. However, George was an adult at that time, and none of them lived with him, but George's sister and brother were not yet an adult. They lived with him for several years, but now they both left their parents and went out alone. Now, in this villa with a large area, only the old couple and a nanny live.

Now that the eldest son is coming, the natural expectation of being a mother is incomparable. He not only prepared a large number of ingredients early, but also has been looking forward to it at the door of the villa.

When George Bruce got out of the car, the mother and son hugged for a long time. Elizabeth could see clear tears on her face.

After a burst of greetings, the people followed George into the villa. Elizabeth is also very curious about Yang Jing. After all, her eldest son has been more and more comfortable since he joined the mysterious oriental boss. George's parents are also very grateful and curious about Yang Jing for this safe and profitable job.

George's father couldn't meet Yang Jing in person because he had an important meeting today, but Elizabeth met him in person, which also gave Yang Jing enough face.

Chris and some of them were already familiar with this place, so they just sat for a while after entering the house and yelled to the back garden to prepare for the barbecue dinner in the evening.

In the United States, the best way to deal with such a party with more people is barbecue.

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

"Yang, I've heard George mention you many times on the phone. George's father and I thank you very much for taking care of George." after two drinks of tea, George's mother began to talk. As a professor of philosophy at the University of Guam, Elizabeth has her own elegance.

"Hehe, Mrs. Bruce, you flatter me. George has helped me a lot. I can't live without this guy now." Yang Jing joked with a smile.

"Boss, don't let Connie hear this. I'm going to propose to Connie on Valentine's day. If you let Connie know this, I'm afraid Connie will regard me as gay..."

Yang Jing and Elizabeth laughed.

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

George announced it himself when the team gathered again from Port Moresby, so Chris and they have been teasing George about it all these days.

"So, George, have you chosen your house?" although George has left his parents for a long time, the mother still cares about her children all the time.

"Mom, the house has been selected. It's in San Francisco. However, the house I chose is not as big as the one you and your father live in. The house prices in San Francisco have soared a bit recently, but Connie and I still 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 can only live in an apartment." While George was talking, he gave Yang Jing a small hand.

Yang Jing smiled, waved her hand and said: "George, you don't have to say such gratitude. The work you and Chris have done is worthy of your salary and reward, which is your due reward. However, I hope you don't leave me alone after you get married, otherwise there will be only Chris and John left as my aircraft pilots in the future, and I prefer to have a most professional pilot in the future In my team. "

"Ha ha, don't worry, boss. I won't leave this team. I'm very comfortable in this team. I can use the skills I learned in the army before. I don't want to quit this kind of happy and profitable work."

Elizabeth smiled, too.

Although the young man in front of him looks young, he really does everything without leakage. After George came back, he called her and said that his boss paid money in the North Pole. Although his son didn't say it clearly, Elizabeth still knew that the young rich man in front of him would reward their bodyguards as much as $56 million in the North Pole alone.

As for his son, he received a reward of $7 million - alette received $2 million and Siberia another $5 million.

The son just followed the young man to the sea for a few months, and the reward alone was $7 million, which was more than the two of them had made in 20 years.

Although money is not everything, the young boss can give so many rewards to the bodyguards around him, which is enough to prove that the young man attaches importance to George and them, which is Elizabeth's most reassuring.

Generally speaking, the more you get, the more you have to pay. Especially for a bodyguard like the eldest son, if you change to another boss, seven million dollars is enough for the bodyguard to die. But the young man didn't do so, and his son is still alive and kicking, which shows that working with this young man is not very dangerous.

Although Elizabeth does not want her son to be a bodyguard, which is a very dangerous industry, her son is in his thirties. He has his own ideas, and his character is like his father. He is naturally suitable for this industry, so Elizabeth has no way.

Now that her son can follow a good boss, Elizabeth is more or less relieved.

"Hey, don't talk any more. It's almost ready outside. Madam has prepared so many ingredients and drinks that we can have a big meal tonight. Let's go and have fun outside..." while talking, Clark McCann's big head poked in through the window and loudly asked the three people to go out together
