Any insight into FY14 or FY15 Army Officer Separation Boards?

55.9K

Early next year around 2000 officers are going to get a letter saying "you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here". Other than the occasional Army Times article I haven't seen anything put out officially. The Major Mafia says Majors could face 8-12% cuts while some CPT year groups may have a 30-50% over the next few years. Does anyone have any better intel, such as actual numbers by branch and year group?

Currently US Legislation only allows an officer's packet to appear in front of the E-SRB or the E-OSB boards once every 5 years. So, if your packet appeared in front of one of these boards than your next look for your year group will be in 5 years.

Human Resource Command is trying to get this legislation changed, so officers packets may appear in front of one of those boards on a yearly basis.

You will see more early retirement options being approve by the SECDEF and congress, so be alert to the MILPER messages.

MEDCOM and JAG officers will start have boards next year to assist in the Army in getting down to its new end strength.

If you get a chance to retire on your own terms may be the best way to go then being given the pink slip.

I hope this response helps!

Thanks,

Here is a little more information about the separation that I received at some point. The info should be good for everyone. Let me know if it is inaccessible for some reason.

Sir, in the slides it said... 82 percent will not retire as an officer. I know what it means, but if they retire enlisted (if not meeting the 8yr requirement) Have u seen anything regarding TERA retirement pay? I am in YG10, so doesn't affect... But if it happens in two years, I would have 6 yrs as an officer and 16 years in an wonder how that works.
