The fact is the number is relatively unknown and changes drastically from year to year. A relative constant is that less than 50% of all who enlist will complete their first enlistment tour. Retirement figures for total numbers of enlistment range from 10% to as low as 2%. Most surprising is that US census reports less than 9% of Americans serve in the military.

Probably most of them, if they don't lose their lives in service first. ^^^^ This is not an answer. Most people can't handle the military life and get out either by leaving on their own terms or leaving on the military terms. Only a select few can make rank and get the privilege to retire. I do not know the percentage but I'm looking for it.

It is possible to get health insurance whilst in the military, and it is actually provided to all part and full time members. It is also available to military personnel after they retire.

Like all military personnel in the US, they can retire from military service after there first enlistment is over. The standard enlistment is 4 years, but sometimes the first one can be 6 years depending on the branch/career chosen. For the Marines it's generally 4 years. Military Service men and women can re-enlist and if they stay in the Military for 20 years earn a full government pension.

Social Security Number
It works like an old-style pension, rather than a 401k. There's no explicit contributing to it. It's just part of the compensation that if you serve >=20 years and retire, you get retirement pay (which is a percentage of your last active-duty pay). Members of the military do have the option to contribute to a Federal Thrift Savings Plan, which is just an Individual Retirement Account but with a higher yearly contribution limit (as with an IRA at a bank, contributions aren't taxed until withdrawal). This is unrelated to military retirement pay though; all federal employees can set up a Thrift Savings Plan.
