I'm a LTC whose MRD is July 2021. I currently have a total of 32 years of service. I've already been passed over for COL, and the next look will be above-the-zone. I'm not all that concerned about not making O6 after 32 years. I've been told I could possibly transition to the Warrant Officer Corps once I hit my MRD. I'm wondering if that would be a better option? I'd like to hear from those who've actually done it to see if it's worth it, or if I should just retire.

Sir, I would first ask if you are regular army or army national guard. If you are regular army then I would retire and enjoy it. It you are national guard then it depends on your retirement points and how far from drawing that check. In my opinion if you wanted a nice retirement on the national guard side then AGR enlisted job would be a better option since your retirement points will count as a LTC retirement point. These options are up to you sir and your situation. My recommendation would be follow the money, while still being able to be a part of the organization.

I have was passed over for O6 as well, I decided to take my ball and go home.

I don’t know. 32 years and go to CW2. I regretted leaving at 22, but don’t think I would have done that route. I’d say retire and call it good.

I've been out for almost a year now, and the thought of going back only fills me with anxiety.
