Never... Prove it... Actually as I was approaching my retirement from US Naval service(02/May/1997) I had already setup my follow on employment and started working part time on that job three months before my retirement date(while on active duty). From then on when I changed from one job to the next I always had things setup so that I never missed a days work. That is until I married the wife(03/Dec/2004) and began moving from one country to another as the following spouse. Now I set jobs up well in advance of heading for the next post, and fortunately the Department lets spouses accumulate work time towards a US Gov retirement from post to post to post. I know thats just me. For me there is no reason to leave a job unless another one is lined up so that my family never goes without. Unless of course you get fired, but that has never happened to me so I cannot share any experiences about that. Proper planning is all it takes.
