interest to those of us (at least me) who have never been and will not ever be a visitor to New York City. —CWO4 Ray E. Ward, USA-Ret. Van Buren, Ark.

Retirement Options It seems strange [“Settle to a City,” September 2011] would mention the exchange at Camp Mabry [Texas] and the BX/commissary at Fort Hood and omit the facilities at Berg- strom AFB — in Austin. [Also] “Are You Financially Fit
to Retire?” … suggests, “Request a reevaluation of your disability rat- ing” and states, “Be aware that rat- ings can go down as well as up.” The author is correct, in part, but his comment should have gone on to state that, by law, a disability rating that has been in effect for at least 20 years may not be reduced. —Col. Stephen E. Katz, USAF-Ret. via email
Your [September 2011 issue] is load- ed with retirement villages, which is good. What is missing is a cost break- down on these facilities. Not all of us retired as general officers, so cost is a real concern. For example, I looked into [a Florida community]. I could no more afford that location than a Ferrari or a Lotus. My income limits me to Fords and Chevys. Do your retired subscribers a favor and list them by costs and amenities, not just paid advertisements. —Maj. Bob Yeager, USA-Ret. via email
