Are we finally moving towards a right sized Officer Corps with 500 more majors given "pink slips"?

I understand that this is last year's article on this, I have yet to be able to find the article that was given to me by one of my guys.

LTC (Join to see) With all of the cuts in the military, I wonder how many GO slots got axed? I don't know off hand but my guess is zero.

Cutting forces as the world is spiraling down towards WWIII - what could possibly go wrong?

LTC Jason Mackay - I think I just saw a milper for a W5 retention board today. I'll check tomorrow.

I believe that this is the way that it should be...Each promotion should have a quantifiable cut and thereby a reduction to those that don't make it. There is plenty of deadwood and I believe that it needs to be cut. I know that sounds harsh, but we should not be running a social welfare state where you get to stay in as long as you want.

LTC Jason Mackay my old guy memory was right. SRB for CW5s announced on the 16th, MILPER 15-365

LTC (Join to see) - There were rank/time rules placed in the past and Majors were allowed to make retirement (20 years max-non prior). The the DoD reneged and rules changed as cutbacks occurred and people are getting screwed in the process. There are a lot of good Majors getting kicked out.

The article is from August 2014.... I'm pretty sure these Majors are already aware...

Agree that those knew, I couldn't find the updated article that I had read earlier for the upcoming "pink slips"

LTC (Join to see) - If you do find an updated one, I'd like to see it. I haven't heard of any new pink slips coming out - but I'll check my mailbox when I get home!

MAJ Bryan Zeski I fell for it too, until I saw the posted date. YG 09 CPT's are on the chopping block this year. I think the MAJ's were skipped for this year, but then... some are probably being pushed out from the last board results. I wonder what the pick up rate was from the recent board?
