Better still, there's no state income tax on military retired pay. Head to Pensacola, known for its beautiful beaches. Four Navy installations are located in Pensacola. Not everything in this section of the Florida panhandle revolves around the Navy, however. The Air Force also has a sizable presence, with Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field only 40 miles east of Pensacola.
Retirees here enjoy an excellent year-round climate.
In addition, there's no state income tax. Most of the bases in the area have outpatient clinics. Additional MTFs in the area include Naval Hospital Pensacola and Eglin Regional Hospital. You can't beat the climate and beaches, and the 13 military facilities in the area make shopping on post a dream. Given the number of MTFs in the area, it's unlikely you'll ever have to turn to the private sector for health care.
