Is Getting a GOMAR as lower enlisted a career death sentence?

With the strength of the military being so low, would it not behoove the Army to reasses GOMARS?

I got a GOMOR my first year in the Army, during the early 90s draw down, and made E7 in 8 years, for E1-E4, it is not a career death sentence.

The strength of the military isn't low, it is exactly what it's supposed to be. The Army has no issue retaining its senior enlisted.
A GOMOR won't stop a Soldier from reaching retirement, but it can prevent them from reaching senior enlisted ranks. The Army doesn't have any trouble filling it senior enlisted ranks, otherwise everyone would be promoted at their first look

The strength of the military has been low for years. They are having problems finding eligible recruits as it is. They downsized many years ago early 90s and never recovered. Squads became smaller, in my opinion some has to do with how potential recruits see veterans bei g treated by the VA. Not to mention the entitled generation we have.

I think it depends on the reason/severity for getting one. I know a CPT that received one as a SSG. Still managed to pick up SFC and then get commissioned.
