Gee i hope it is more than 5% cause if so that is rubbish
You simply cannot compare normal Super and Military Superannuation. They are completely different, calculated different, administered different, paid out different, different acts of Parliament. For example, take a look at the death benefit component of the military super scheme. Then there's the fact that when you retire, the portion of super you decide to take as a pension never runs out (live to 150yo they keep paying). If you have dependents, portions of the benefit roll over to them.
Believe me, Military (uniforms) Super probably rates second only to politicians super package.
Similarly, when looking at Defence (uniforms) salaries, and they are published in the public domain, you need to consider a whole range of benefits as well as the actual pay packet.
Now, remind me again why I got out...........
