I heard there is to be a COLA raise of 1% or 2 %................in the recent past, there's been no increase, so 1 or 2 % is great!!

It seems to follow this, or the Military Retired Pay follows the CBO figure:

The Congressional Budget Office is predicting a 1.3 percent cost-of-living adjustment in military retirement and
veterans’ disability benefits in 2013, an increase far smaller than the 3.6 percent hike received this year.

The Congressional Budget Office is sticking with its projection of a 1.3 percent cost-of-living adjustment on
Dec. 1 in military and civilian retired pay and Social Security.

There had been discussion earlier this year that the annual COLA could be as high as 1.9 percent.
However, a Sept. 12 statement from the nonpartisan budget office “assumes that the COLA
effective on Dec., 1, 2012 would be 1.3 percent.”
