Defense Secretary Ash Carter told troops and veterans Tuesday that he's looking at some large-scale reforms for the military's personnel system, but he made clear that he feels careers in uniform should remain distinct because not all civilian-sector solutions will fit the military......
"Most of you are family people," Carter told service members. "I don't want you to have to choose between your family and serving us. So, except where, you know, the considerations of combat effectiveness require otherwise, we'd like to give you the room to have your family. Because we want you to stay with us."

I don't know Sir-On one hand, I'm always glad to hear about "from the top" improvements to our servicemembers' quality of life and career...on the other, I'm concerned we are creating two distinct militaries...one which is operationally focused, and one which is merely an extension of the Civil Service.

Those are some promising words from the SECDEF. I believe past Secretaries have suggested similar initiatives. We'll see what comes about.
