Isaac,
You will be paid 75% of your retired base pay (this is the average of the high 36 months of your base pay). Yes, you can work. There are many opportunities in government on the civilian side. I would think you can use your clearance to good advantage.

At DTAP class which is mandatory one of the speakers was NAVAIR who is actively hiring. there should have been some recruiters from civilian companys at your DTAP class. a good place to start looking is government contractors for example Lockheed Martin, NAVAIR, boeing etc etc companys like that are always looking for disabled vets to hire. good luck.
