I think it depends on how long you stick around. From what I understand the federal pensions are decent but not enough to live off of, you still need to save some money for retirement. People who have been at the NSA a really long time accrue vacation at almost European rates (around 1 month per year)
I don't know if they are(if military benefits are any example)... beyond the look you get from a traffic cop after they run your info and reality dawns on them.
Can you explain this to the unenlightened? Is employment at a national security organization somehow indicated in the DMV database or whatever it is that cops look you up in?
It’s not. The only thing you may get is a official / displomatic passport for certain overseas work, otherwise it’s not going to matter anymore than flashing a teachers union card.
I'm assuming it is, even if it's not, you have a great answer to the traffic stop boilerplate question..."where are you going in such a hurry?"
