Think Tanks can be a good place for a flag officer too, but generally they don't have as much money. I think I'd actually prefer to see the generals and admirals getting new gigs with the smaller side of defense industry - there are tons of medium and small sized companies that could use their help.

> there are tons of medium and small sized companies that could use their help Yeah, but how many can pay something equivalent to the big boys? A friend's father retired from the Navy as a former boomer captain and went into industry as an inspector for power plants, working for one of the large insurers. Not a job that's going away, not a small company that might or might not make it. Just steady employment for the next 15 years or so (which, given how long ago it was, he's well beyond) until he wants to retire for good.
