The EIN is shown in box b of the W-2

See this IRS website for a 2016 W-2 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw2.pdf

It's not the same for military W2s

The military uses the same W-2 form as the IRS.  Which EIN are you looking for, the federal or the state?  The state employer number should be located in box 15.
Or are you referring to a retirement/pension which is not reported on a W-2 but on a Form 1099-R?
