Notes: See notes to Table 4. The e40 and e65 columns show remaining life expectancies at age 40 and 65 for all military retirees in each year, constructed from age-specific mortality rates estimated using DMDC payroll data. The SII columns list the slope index of inequality in life expectancy. The RII columns show the relative index of inequality in life expectancy, which is the SII divided by the ex.
