What is a tenure or tenured veteran?

[Shari]

What does that mean?

I've heard of 'tenured' teachers but never 'tenured' veterans. Guess I'm not much help! Sorry.

I don't know, but I'll email a friend who's retired Air Force. He should know!

Shari, I googled "tenured veteran" and came up with this:

Not really certain, just guessing here, but I would imagine it would be similar to a tenured teacher/professor...... so many years on the job, so much training..... which might equate with certain coverage for rights/privileges..... health care, shop at PX, education aid, etc. I would think you would have to have put in so much time/effort to attain these "rewards".
Were you asking for a particular reason?

Just heard the term today and wasn't sure what it was.
