OPM Medical Retirement: Anonymity of the Routine

Posted onMay 21, 2015AuthorFederal Disability Retirement Attorney2 Comments

Most people prefer anonymity; although, in more recent years, the hunt for one’s five minutes of fame by “hook or by crook”, whether to impose, intrude, push through, etc., and wave in front of a camera, or to perform some demeaning act to attract a byline in the Guinness Book of Records, has become a prevalence beyond mere happenstance exception.
